A follow-up story to Spammers launching a DDos attack on Blue Security, developers of Blue Frog.  Blue Security has recover from the attack.  However, there are a number of problems. During the attack, Blue Security diverted their web traffic to their blog.  As a consequence of this diversion, both LiveJournal and TypePad came under the DDos attack.  There are questions about how Blue Security dealt with the DDos attack.  Did they not anticipate by diverting their traffic they would cause the blog host to come under attack?  Did they act responsibly?
