Prolexic Says it was Wrongly Charged

Via Web Hosting Industry Review (WHIR) News.

Distributed denial of service protection solutions provider Prolexic Technologies says it was wrongly accused of hosting gambling Web sites when New York authorities broke up an online betting ring on Thursday, according to reports.

Police issued a 33-count indictment regarding an illegal Internet gambling ring and Prolexic was identified by a traceroute as the Web hosting provider for an Internet sports book. However, Prolexic says it is being wrongly accused, and was not involved in hosting the gambling operation.

The company says its proxy service makes it appear, through a traceroute, as though Prolexic is the host of the site.
