This newsgroup is being attacked by a moron named "Hipcrime." Look up the name in Google if you care to know the details of his hare-brained scheme to kill Usenet. Right now he is flooding this group with forged posts being sent through an open relay in Korea. The posts reply back to the group whom he has a hard on for, news.admin.net-abuse.email. If your identity is being forged there is little you can do. Do NOT respond to the posts, it will do nothing but waste more Usenet resources and hasten confusion. If you can filter, go for it. Right now he is posting from IP 210.178.1.125 which many can filter with. If you cannot filter, do not respond to any messages; the only thing you can do is ignore them or, if you want, complain to the provider about their open relay (although most Asian ISPs are clueless in this regard, any port in a storm). Correct addresses to send complaints with full headers (munged for spam protection): yymdream # chollian . net abuse # pubnet . ne . kr postmaster # chollian . net hachang # kt . co . kr

>> This newsgroup is being attacked by a moron named "Hipcrime." > > So? Be careful. Netcops (the bad ones) can cause your account to be suspended (if you are a roadrunner subscriber) due to the ignorance of the Roadrunner techs who make the call on suspension (I think it's an almost automated process when a tech gets an 'abuse allegation', and he ro she reports your IP in their system a third time, you get suspended. No inquiry is made). So, when a tech gets the abuse notice, they 'make the call' and flag your account with a 'warning'. I got suspended this way and was on the phone with a tech for 45 minutes before I finally got him to research their OWN policy and he litterly said, "Oh.. you're right". My account was reinstated, but I am not sure Roadrunner did anything to make their techs more aware of their policy about suspending accounts based on one net cops abuse allegations. M
