Good Guys in the Blog Spam Fight
In one of our little blog spam pests's visits to my blog, a new set of domains were tried. These were combinations of the target sites, prepended to domains like 8m [dot] com, 4t [dot] com, etc. I traced these to a division of Juno called Netsky. I sent their abuse line an e-mail describing what the owner of these domains was up to. I received this response in a short period of time:
Hello Rich,
Notice that these sites are not active sites, we caught this guy during signup.
Mega Web Services Customer Service
Bravo!
As mentioned in the comments to a previous post (http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/richard.dudley/archive/2005/01/09/42948.aspx), Verio could use another nudge.
