Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of culture, technology, politics, and law. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.
[Jericho is a very reliable source. I invite Comcast to reply. --Declan] --- Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 00:03:35 -0400 (EDT) From: security curmudgeon <jericho@attrition.org> To: <abuse@comcast.net>, <legal@comcast.net>, <domregadmin@comcast.net> cc: Better Business Bureau <bnd@bbb.org>, Declan McCullagh <declan@well.com> Subject: Continued attacks from your network. I contacted abuse@comcast.net as well as legal@comcast.net on Jul 9, 2003 with a complaint about a sustained Denial of Service attack from your network. Since then, it has not been addressed or resolved. My last mail to you made it very clear that unless resolved, it showed Comcast was aware of the problem and chose not to handle it. In short, they condoned the attack, and that their AUP and Abuse Policy was for show, not taken seriously. Over the last twenty four hours, these attacks have resumed. On July 7, 2003, we put in a custom sendmail block to deny all traffic from "NIESY100@comcast.net" due to a flood of spam. On July 9, 2003, the spam flood continued and a complaint was mailed. July 15, 2003, and the spam flood is still going with no resolution from Comcast. After this mail is sent, I will be forwarding the relevant logs to the appropriate law enforcement agency (FBI), along with copies of our correspondance indicating you were made aware of the attacks. I have also CC'd Declan McCullagh in hopes that he will forward this on to his Politech mail list, as well as BCC'd several administrators and colleagues to warn them of these attacks.
