We take a very critical look at the information that Blue Frog is providing. The data simply doesn’t make sense. The conclusion is that this is hyperbole in pursuit of an IPO.

Reshef said, in retrospect, he should have posted a press release (which he did).

He also might have considered dropping an email heads-up to his clients from a back up server.

The BS chief admits he screwed up. So why are his followers so adamant that the decision to foist a BS personal nightmare off on a community of 10 million innocents is someone else’s fault?

Frankly, I am baffled.

BS, however, was incredibly stupid/irresponsible/corrupt to send the attackers to Typepad by redirecting their web traffic. They should be willing to take the blame for that action.
