Bust The Myths | |||
Over the years we have heard all kinds of false and incorrect | |||
information posted around the net regarding the use of | |||
blocklists as a unreliable form of protection against a wide | |||
range of internet based threats. | |||
This has led to the development of common misconceptions about | |||
the blocklists among many users. | |||
Some of this false information may be part of a deliberate | |||
campaign to discredit the blocklists and their maintainers, or | |||
an attempt to trick people into lowering their defences by | |||
convincing people they are either more at risk or wasting their | |||
time. | |||
While in some cases the false information has been outright | |||
fabricated lies intended to do damage, it also seems that a lack | |||
of technical knowledge mixed with extremely poor research simply | |||
results in bad and incorrect information being spread with no | |||
attempt to seek out the actual facts. | |||
Often you'll see different kinds of insults on discussion forums | |||
from people who just want to ridicule other p2p users that are | |||
discussing the use of a blocklist. | |||
