SORBS Blocklist Reportedly Sold For $451K

palegray.net writes: "SORBS, a well-known email blocklist provider, has reportedly been sold for $500M. Early reports indicate an acquisition by GFI, a company specializing in various communications services. In recent years, SORBS has been the target of frequent accusations of mismanagement and poor conduct, leading many to wonder if this turn in events might signal a chance for improved behavior. Citing lack of ISP support, the blocklist released statements earlier this year that they would be shuttering their operation."

Summary correction.

While the title is correct, the story summary should have listed the sale price for the amount of $451,000. It is unclear at this time if the currency is USD or AUD.
