Re: [nznog] Net4u - Stealing bandwidth etc.

yea, you can imagine how many spammers would have found that proxy, and used it.. surely someone at attica/callplus got notification that it was open.. Spammers find open proxy's in a matter of hours these days.. perhaps staff recieved the notifications, but didnt give a dam? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Juha Saarinen" To: "Simon Lyall" ; Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 9:22 AM Subject: Re: [nznog] Net4u - Stealing bandwidth etc.

Looks like the herald is breaking all the interesting stories lately:

I can understand Callplus having problems since they have been struggling with inexperienced staff for a few months (although 6 months is before the most recent resignations) but I'm not sure how the Jetstream/Jetstart thing would have worked. I've yet to see Telecom lose money when people get Jetstream relms confused.

So is Callplus/Attica IP space somewhat blacklisted now?

Surely they'd have had complaints about the open proxy?
