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. 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. -george william herbert gherbert@crl.com
