Lycos has develop a screen saver which will send request to the spam source site, when a lot of request attack the spam web page, it will becomes overloaded and slow. so its more like revenge to spam.
the funny part is flooding a server until it stop working – a process known as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack which is illegal, Lycos claim that they have done serveral test make sure its only slow down the server but not until server stops working. (wah .. !)
i search thru the lycos’s Make Love Not Spam ( thats the project name for this revenge action) , but still can’t find this screen saver, maybe it havent release yet ?
check the news for this fight back
