over the past couple of days, at least two of our servers have been inundated with rather amateurish attempts to login as various priviledged users. We're talking at least hundreds of attempts, mostly from 62.104.92 and 62.104.82. I whois shows the /16 (which I finally null routed the whole thing) belongs to: role: Network Management address: freenet Cityline GmbH address: Network Managment Center address: Juri Gagarin Ring 88 address: 99084 Erfurt address: Germany phone: +49 361 594 2961 remarks: **************************************************** remarks: * please report spam/abuse mailto:abuse@pppool.de * remarks: * reports to other addresses will not be processed * remarks: **************************************************** I sent the abuse email 2 days ago and got no response. After 2 more days of this, I finally just tried to call that number, and it's bogus (or at least not working). Does anyone have a clue who this is and/or how to actually get ahold of someone there (preferably one who speaks or reads/writes English)? TIA, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
