Racist attacks on my server

localliberty · #1 (**permalink**) 02-06-2004, 09:46 AM

In the last two weeks, my server has been relentlessy and aggressively bombarded by racist, pro army, establisment, corporatist email address names with viruses attached to them.

Is that to do with the MyDoom virus? What can be done as it still going on?

Is this something acceptable and part of the web ethics as it is very targeted and discriminatory?

Thanks a lot

Seeing that your server is running IIS (windows), I highly doubt it has to do with W32NoVarge@mm (or whatever MyDoom is called).

But It has nothing to do with e-mail attacks or spamming anyways. The virus recruits user machines to act as 'zombies' in a DDoS attack.

I think that you can answer the "ethics" question yourself, what exactly IS the point of your post?
