By now, anyone who reads this blog regularly (both of you) know of my recent ISP escapade and the ensuing rant on ISP accountability.
Well, it's 3am and I've learned a lot tonight.
- When you think you've got a DoS attack under control, you don't.
- You're not REALLY under a DoS attack until the LEDs on your firewall start blinking out "SOS" in Morse code.
- Verio may refuse to let you speak to a human, but the people behind their 2nd level abuse email account work 24/7 and they work fast.
- Jerol from Verio is my hero. He stopped the madness. He even called to tell me so.
- The FBI apparently doesn't handle "private" (as in non-government) computer crimes. Or at least, the poor junior agent manning the phone at the Milwaukee field office at 2:30am doesn't think so.
- The Secret Service, however DOES handle this type of thing.
