spam

A day has passed, and you are still alive! All! Source: ROL Spammers began to threaten providers around the world A British webmaster, who wishes to remain anonymous, reports that unknown spammers threaten him with physical harm because he dared to send a complaint to the Internet provider who provided access senders of thousands of unsolicited messages. The webmaster reported the personal threats to The Register website staff. By According to him, after filing a complaint with the Internet provider, the spammers said that they will make his life “not worth living.” After such threats, the webmaster fears that he may become the object of physical violence. The user also reported that spammers constantly bombard messages in his mailbox (once he received about 250 thousand letters two hours), and also constantly attack his website, which led to closing the resource. Similar situations occur, as it turns out, in Russia. At the end last week it became known that a certain spammer introducing himself Max Terentyev, the creator of the AMS mass mailing program, threatened Russian providers with “cruel reprisal” if he his site "will not be left behind." "Please stop the hysteria with advertising my sites, and also immediately remove the corresponding domains from drbl,” wrote Terentyevproviders, stating in addition that if this does not happen, he will using its program, it will send advertisements from providers’ addresses to 50, and then to 100 million addresses, and in general, bury them under the floods spam. Terentyev’s website (Nexus6.ru) at that time was located at the provider Valuehost. Valuehost employees immediately destroyed the site, and the spammer’s mailbox on Mail.ru was soon liquidated. However, Nexus6.ru will be available very soon opened again: this time, judging by the router, hosting was provided by Peterhost company. However, as representatives of Compulente told companies, this site is causing them too much inconvenience. Some The company's IP addresses were included in block lists, which Peterhost not satisfied at all. So the contract with Terentyev is terminated, and starting Thursday, Nexus6.ru will either disappear altogether, or its owner will try get hosting somewhere else. The confrontation between spammers and opponents of mass mailings continues for a very long time, and the situation is clearly not in favor providers. Most of all in this story, Terentyev’s opponents were outraged the very fact of threats. As he wrote in his article in the Independent Review providers" Alexander Militsky, "for the first time in domestic practice the spammer threatens a DoS attack in retaliation for the free exchange of opinions,relating to his software product, the exchange, the right to which guaranteed by Article 29-1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which is so popular refer to the spammers themselves." Actions threatened to take Terentyev, Militsky called terrorism, but at the same time recommended arrange a calm public discussion of the spam problem and invited Terentyev to take part in it. Compulenta's attempt to contact the author of the AMS results didn't give it. ZXNet: 500:8462/1 ~/ <~ http://zx.fatal.ru/ Fido: 2:5057/21.93 /_ _> SkyNet: 71:170/21
