Blue Security Ceases Anti-Spam Operations

When we founded Blue Security in 2004, we believed that if we automated a
way for users to rise up and exercise their rights under the CAN-SPAM Act,
we could reduce the amount of spam on the Internet.

Over the past few months we were able to leverage the power of the Blue
Community and convince top spammers responsible for sending over 25% of the
world's spam to comply with our users' opt-out list. We were making real
progress in eliminating spam from the lives of our users.

However, several leading spammers viewed this change as a strategic threat
to their spam business. The week before last, these spammers launched a
series of attacks against us, taking down hundreds of thousands of other
websites via a massive Denial-of-Service attack and causing damage to ISPs,
website owners and Internet users worldwide. They also began a relentless
campaign of email intimidation against many members of the Blue Community.

After recovering from the attack, we determined that once we reactivated the
Blue Community, spammers would resume their attacks. We cannot take the
responsibility for an ever-escalating cyber war through our continued
operations.

As we cannot build the Blue Security business on the foundation we
originally envisioned, we are discontinuing all of our anti-spam activities
on your behalf and are exploring other, non spam-related avenues for our
technological developments. As much as it saddens us, we believe this is the
responsible thing to do.

You need not do anything as a result of this change. We will continue to
protect your names and addresses and honor all privacy commitments we made
to you.

We have concluded we should not take Blue Security to the full deployment
stage we originally planned to achieve, but we are proud of what we have
accomplished thus far as a young startup company.

We are extremely proud to have had the chance to work with such a devoted
and dedicated community: thank you for the vote of confidence you gave us
over the past few months as well as the particularly vocal support you have
shown over the last two weeks.

We will be innovating and building our technology in new, other directions
and will continue to give back to you, our Community.

      Thank you for your support,

            The Blue Security Team.
