<div>"But do you remmeber back to the Make love not spam saga? Yeah, the big <br>players tried to "attack" the bad guys and look were they ended up. You, by <br>attacking anything, forwhatever reason, with the same method as the
<br>attacker, could land you in jail. While with your attack you may lock up <br>phishers in coordination with banks, the phishers lawyers could also claim <br>by law, that the anti-phishing site was also breaking the law by flooding a
<br>database, even if the database is malicious or otherwise legitmate."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"With this in mind, are the RSA say its OK to DDoS fake login pages that the <br>public think are phishing sites with fake information to take the phishing <br>sites down? Or maybe the RSA didn't think too far into it before making
<br>their "illegal tactics" public. I guess nobody in the industry learned from <br><a href="http://makelovenotspam.com">makelovenotspam.com</a> and the whole Lycos affair."</div>

<div>"Well, Chris, it looks to me by the RSA publishing this information that they <br>are encouraging anyone with a botnet to send thousands of bogus queries to a <br>web form, which would crash a mail server or database, which belonged to a
<br>company, that the phishers had previously hacked and the company was <br>previously unaware was being used in a phishing attempt. So now it seems the <br>RSA are sending out information about their activities, which could
<br>infulence scriptkids/ hackers etc who own large bot nets to attack anything <br>they see as a "phish". Although, just by individuals of the public sending a <br>single query per user to a phish login form, could cause the same affect as
<br>a malicious users bot network."</div>
