Security outfit targets cDc anonymity app 'Peekabooty'

The press has been blissfully buzzing lately with rumors and long-
shot speculation about a privacy/anonymity application called
Peekabooty, which white hat group Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc) is
developing for roll-out at this year's Defcon convention in Las Vegas
this July.
It certainly didn't take long for UK-based security/censorware outfit
Baltimore Technologies to try to parlay the rumors into a fast buck
by selling protection from Peekabooty -- which it warns will shelter
criminals and pedophiles and lead to all sorts of crippling
liabilities for corporate network operators -- with its product
MIMEsweeper.

Some Truth about Peekabooty We can't tell you exactly what it is
(though we will in about a month's time); but we can certainly tell
you what it isn't.
