Anyone got any ideas as to how we can make AOL more responsive to the
security issues their users create? You don't see these types of
problems originating from Compuserve. I realize that hackers could go to
other resources, but the simple fact is that AOL generates more email
bombers, faked email, and probing hackers than any other single source,
and their abuse @
aol .
com address is next to useless. I've sent messages
as Postmaster@, which should be treated with a modicum of respect, and
received nothing more than an auto-reply, never, ever, a single personal
response.
Netcom is not much better.
AOL has to become more responsive to the security issues they are
creating through their marketing. Giving away free access may get them
more customers, but its done at the expense of the rest of the Internet.
And for those wondering what to do with sites that are run by hackers,
the easiest thing is to contact their ISP. If you contact a site and
don't get a response, or don't get a satisfactory response, then move up
the traceroute.
Cheers,
Russ
