3rd Battle of Cyberspace causes site closure and hack by provider
Big Bertha Thing hacked
I can perhaps make a unique claim.
My Fortunecity web site has been closed, opened, hacked
and disabled by Fortunecity.
1. 30th October 2000 Closed
2. 30th December 2000 Opened
3. 31st December 2000 Hacked
4. 1st January 2001 Net ring code deleted
My Astrophysics web ring picture was replaced by a Fortunecity logo.
All I did was fight the third battle of cyberspace,
using my FC mailbox, amongst others and a mail to newsgroups gateway.
It was a text only battle, no hacking or even anonymous mail was
used.
Site references were used instead of attachments.
Thank you,
Tony Lance
Big Bertha Thing reason
1. Third Battle of Cyberspace.
2. Death Threats.(3)
3. Newsgroup Review.
4. Odd newsgroup users with 1000 postings.
5. Berserker attacks on legitimate postings to sci.astro et al.
6. Political and totally innexplicable.
7. Net Newbie basket cases.
8. Violent spam busters.
9. Abuse complaints procedure.
10. Web site closure.
Take your pick, the opposition will not give you the choice.

No, no, no, no.
Usenet simply doesn't work that way.
The MS NNTP server will close, and the web interface to that server
will be gone.
But the newsgroups can and will continue to be propagated on all the
other NNTP servers that carry them.
Now, it's possible for MS to issue a rmgroup command, but those are
so easily forged that most NNTP servers have been ignoring them for
eons, so it's unlikely that any effort MS makes to cleanse Usenet of
its public newsgroups will work.
I recently read that the "powers that be" are considering creating a
bunch of new MS newsgroups in the comp.* hieararchy to replace the
ms.public newsgroups, so keep your eyes open for that.
