That story lacks accuracy in several very important elements.

<disclaimer:  I'm anti BS/BF>

The BF 'process' DNIR [do not intrude registry] did not "disrupted the
spammers' ability to send e-mails to other victims"

The attacking spammer did *not* flood BS site with ddos, but used a
different strategy to cut off BS's site access from everyone not Israel.

It was BS which pointed its nameservice at the blogsites and /then/
there was a ddos problem caused by the attacker.

The register article is more accurate
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/17/blue_security_folds/  Blue
Security calls it quits after attack by renegade spammer

Altho' the register hasn't been very kind to BS, they weren't very mean
about the fold.
