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..
Not while I was there. I've been gone three-and-a-half months now, so it's quite possible they got told since then.
Spammers find open proxy's in a matter of hours these days.. perhaps staff recieved the notifications, but didnt give a dam?
Or they weren't able to figure out what the warning meant and ignored it? An open proxy would definitely have been brought to my attention as all security issues came across my desk, and I never saw any such notification. Not to mention that someone would've bitched if we'd been blacklisted and while that did happen it was by a couple of companies as a serious over-reaction to dodgy activity by customers. -- Matthew Poole Auckland, NZ http://www.p00le.net "Three pills a day keeps the voices at bay" Matthew Poole
