According to Keith Moore
| I recieved the following subscribe message addressed to
| info-mime-request@cs.utk.edu. This looks suspiciously like an attempt
| to flood that 800 number with junk faxes (probably from lots of lists)
| and bill lots of calls to it.
|
| I telephoned that number and it turns out to be a doctor's office in
| Queens, NY. It's not even attached to a fax machine, and sure enough,
| they are getting lots of calls with a high-pitched beep.
|
| So you might want to check your lists and see if this same address is
| subscribed... Also, since the subscription itself came from a listproc,
| maybe the attacker was using that to cover his/her tracks?
Mayve the guys at tpc.int could be asked to weed out fax requests from
mailing lists to prvent this kind of misuse. And then snd a msg to
the list maintainer...
