Spammers hack Lycos' anti-spam Web site.

Spammers are suspected of hacking into and downing Lycos's anti-spam Web
site just hours after it went live. The Web site is currently inaccessible
and could also be the victim of a DDoS attack.

...within hours of the makelovenotspam.com site being launched, the original
front page was replaced with a simple message:

"Yes, attacking spammers is wrong. You know this, you shouldn't be doing it.
Your IP address and request have been logged and will be reported to your
ISP for further action."


Lycos was unavailable for comment.
