The damaged party in the denial-of-service attack earlier (InterNIC) has, undoubtedly, filed proper reports and can't talk about them. These investegations take time, and there's no reason for the Feds to work faster right now because the faked .per and .nic domains aren't hurting anyone and Eugene has stopped knocking legitimate domains down.
MCI and Sprint, however, have dissapointed me. Their security contacts are not responding (IMHO) appropriately.
Hmm.. you might want to talk to Alternic's direct upstream (Sprint anyway): 9 sl-osd-1-s1-t1.sprintlink.net (144.228.141.38) 103 ms 103 ms 102 ms 10 sea-nile.seanet.com (199.181.164.99) 134 ms 120 ms 103 ms 11 alternic-sea.seanet.com (204.182.108.54) 112 ms 177 ms 112 ms 12 mx.alternic.net (204.94.42.1) 116 ms 114 ms 115 ms Knowing Sprint's names assigned to their customers border interfaces, it APPEARS that seanet is Eugene's upstream.

I have a hard time believing that Eugene still doesn't realize how serious this all is. And yet he's playing up press coverage of it at his web site, and still posting around lists apparently blase about it.
It is nearly unbelievable, isn't it.
