Security Incidents: Email attack

Email attack

From: Kee Hinckley <nazgul_at_SOMEWHERE.COM>
Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 12:33:15 -0500

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I assume this is specific to somewhere.com--we seem to attract this
kind of thing.

2001-02-01
We were under email attack (a message a second) addressed to
somebody_at_somewhere.com (a non-existent address). The attack went on
for several hours until I finally blocked the two sending machines at
my router.

Both machines were in Lithuania.

Name: srvr1.telecom.lt
Address: 212.59.0.10

Name: mx.nkm.lt
Address: 193.219.211.9

Neither was running an open mail relay, so I assume someone broke
into them. I've contacted administrators for both machines, but have
(as usual) received no reply.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
