Infiltration of ISP providers by crackers.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So ...(sigh) what do you do when you complain to a given ISP provider about
a case of attempted abuse by one of their IP addresses and you get a
response from someone in the "security team" whose email name is "cracker?"

Apparently some (or many) of these crackers own (with their consent or not)
even their ISP providers --or worse, some (or many) ISP providers may be
crackers themselves!

A portion of my original complaint to the ISP --where I list one of the
attempted abuse records by the cracker for informational purposes:
