Craigslist being blocked for Security Issues!  Apparently for
some time now COX Internet has been blocking Craigslist from
it’s users. If you have COX internet service you either can’t
get on to Craigslist or it’s a hit or miss situation. It seems
that COX has been using some new security software by a company
called Authentium which considers Craigslist to be a security
risk. The position from COX is not that they are blocking
Craigslist on purpose, just that Craigslist has major issues
with fraud and spam and COX is doing it’s best to prevent that
type of problem from reaching it’s users. In this day and age
with cyber crime being as great as it is, this should be
considered a good thing.  The people at Craigslist are not happy
about this since they are experiencing similar problems with
other companies such as SBC, Yahoo , BT Internet and Telcos. It
seems that all these companies are beefing up their security
suites to better serve their customers, and Craigslist is high
on he list of trouble maker sites.
