In the crossfire?

Jeez, you never know when you’ll be a bystander to some kind of warfare. It is reported in today’s Wired News that Six Apart blog platforms like TypePad–the host for FISpace–were down Tuesday because they are associated with an anti-spam company called Blue Security. Apparently Blue Security is figuring out how to deal with spam, and one powerful spammer launched a kind of nuclear strike against Blue Security and its associates. We can only hope Blue Security has just lost this battle and not the war.
