SpamHaus had been attacked by e360insight, an online marketing company. Because they decided not to fight in the American court because SpamHaus is located in the United Kingdom, the judge had awarded a $11.7 million default judgement.

This decision has been overturned and SpamHaus is no longer risking this huge cost but the issue is still to be judged in a lower court (stil in the US).
