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.
