RE: PacBell Security/Abuse contact
Pacbell's Abuse/Security Depts are totally useless with regard to assisting its own customers, let alone defending them. For the better portion of a few months now, I've emailed/called many times with regard to CodeRed boxes (On their netblocks) and have yet to see them take any action. Anyone I talked with there indicated, after giving them the offending IPs, that someone would contact the customer and get it resolved. To date nothing has been done. I still see the same anonying IPs looking for codered stuff on my Apache systems. I won't even get started about the Caymen routers that have no password set on them, and the list of 30 of them I emailed to thier NOC/Abuse and a sales rep. That was over 3 months ago, and still they seem to be wide open, at least a few (I suspect someone changed them, probably were hacked given this amount of time.) I can understand their wanting to keep their customers anonymousness, but if they won't followup with them to (in this case help themselves) erraticate infected boxes that are on their business customer's DSL, doesn't that place them in the area of liability? Don't know, Just my 2¢s -Joe

Anyone have a telephone number that can reach a live person within Pacific Bell's Security/Abuse department? PacBell's technical support is completely inept with trying to help their customers when under any form of network attack other than passing you to a toll-free number which informs you to send email to an address that goes without answer.

One person I know that gets hit on his home box with CR and nimda...well, he goes the extra mile and patches their stuff for them...and leaves a note on the console. Doesn't SBC own PB now? Why not go through the SBC side and see what you can shake loose? On Mon, 25 Mar 2002, Joe Blanchard wrote:
