I don't know if these are merely isolated attempts at harassment and mischief or the precursors to a more widespread attack. What I do know is that I'm very concerned, Panix is quite literally fighting for its life, everyone we've shown details of the problem to is concerned -- including CERT, AUSCERT, and knowledgeable law enforcement personnel -- with the notable exception of MelbourneIT, whose sole corporate response has been one of decided unconcern, and VeriSign, who seem entirely determined to pass the buck instead of investigating, fixing, or helping.
And so it goes.
i know people from verisign (used to?) read nanog-l. perhaps some sort of a deus ex machina intervention may be forthcoming? one can hope. -p --- paul galynin
