Notorious hacker "Venomous" now working at a NZ ISP.
This is a heads-up for those who care about such things. "Venomous" - real name Jodi Jones - is now working at Netbyte in Auckland. People tracking him will recall that the last ISP he worked for (Dayrom in Australia) was used as a base for hacking and DoS attacks. You may wish to firewall accordingly. Yes Netbyte are aware of his history - they claim they believe in giving second chances. Funnily enough that's the exact same claim Dayrom made...

Just on a side note, Netbyte isn't an ISP, they are only a small webdesign/hosting company. Regards, Tony Jenness --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

My dear Chris, I don't think you quite understand how businesses make money. Let me remind you: Stage 1: Collect customers (or is that underpants??). Stage 2: ??? Stage 3: Make money. As you can see from my carefully detailed diagram above, having customers is big business. Seriously though, I believe the propper procedure in this situation would be for _you_ to block their traffic, or less paranoidly, log it, and come to netgate if you have any complaints about their actions.

Come on guys, we don't live in a small New England town called Salem do we? Security is something that you have to worry about all the time, and you have to be most concerned about the threats you DON'T know about. If the security at your sites is so lax that you are worried about one person (who you now know exists) then there is seriously something wrong. Come on, lets all get back to work, after all there's an MBone to build. Dean (Who BTW knows of atleast 4 other NZ ISP/Carriers who employ ex-computer-cons. Oh and this is the wrong use of the word hacker.) On Tue, May 02, 2000 at 01:53:40AM +1200, Chris Rigby wrote:

Agreed. Was thinking, and stuff. Why don't we form an official working group? Maybe ISOCNZ will buy us some buscuits. I'm serious, the industry marketting types will take us more seriously if we present ourselves as an official working group, instead of just a group of smelly geeks. Works good when your begging for free stuff, believe me.

It sounds to me like you already have enough free stuff to make this happen. All I think it needs is for someone to get in a car, gather all of the afore mentioned free stuff, put it in the appropriate place (which I understand has also bee offered) and get this thing on the air. Even without the last step this would still be a major step forward. If you could come to the list and say ``I have a router all plugged in to the right place, here are the ip address and passwd, can someone configure it?'' then I'm sure it would be up and running within minutes. Only then will forming another group make any difference at all. While nothing is built it will be the same as any number of other groups out there. I think it's time that someone just took the bit in their teeth and did this thing. Once it's build you can go scrounging for more free stuff (a passtime after my own heart) Dean (founding member of the official working group on the proposal to consider the possibility for planning for the contingency for ... ) On Tue, May 02, 2000 at 10:50:21AM +1200, James Tyson wrote:

Sounds that way to me, too.

Yes.

If anybody forms anything containing the terms "group", "focus", "working" and threatens me with words like "agenda" or "action-item" then I will run away screaming, and you can find someone else to host the router. On the other hand, if you just want to get it working then ship the damn thing and let me plug it in.

I don't want to mention any names for legal reasons. (We all know them anyway) Anyway, I was told by FBI that 'Venomous' have an arrest warrant in Australia and that FBI is after him to. The days of DoS is more or less gone. It is Ddos that is used now. And blocking off one single company will not do anything. To minimize the risk, you get yourself a free internet connection a prepaid cellphone, a laptop. I think the best thing we can do is to try to get the NZ government to make cracking, dos, ddos... illegal. /Martin

Yes Netbyte are aware of his history - they claim they believe in giving second chances. Funnily enough that's the exact same claim Dayrom made...
