Subject: Usenet Abuse Complaint - Spam Denial of Service Attack
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2023 15:29:59 -0500
Since 8/31 the last 10000 messages I polled from Usenet group
'sci.crypt' are mostly automated spam originating with google path
headers.
Only 44 messages were found that are not spam. This means that roughly
99.56% of all messages in the group are spam originating with google
servers.
This flood attack has persisted for months.
Please put an end to this flood attack.
Google groups users have been running a long-term spam flood attack on
newsgroup 'sci.crypt' for a long time. This spam flood is causing a
sustained denial of service attack on the group. The google groups
service is enabling a months-long denial of service attack to persist.
The attackers are flooding thousands of spam messages into the
newsgroup. In the last two weeks it appears they spammers have flooded
at least 10,000 messages into the newsgroup.
This spam attack of thousands of spam messages has rendered the Usenet
group unusable. It is not feasible to filter out these many spam
messages by sender names. The nymshifters just keep nymshifting and
their flood continues unabated. This is just so far beyond ridiculous
that I have no words for it.
The messages are for illegal pharmaceutical sales and bitcoin scams,
illegal blackhat services and similar garbage. They are not legitimate
messages. They are not 'protected speech'.
Please analyze the flood of spam in 'sci.crypt' and terminate the
offending accounts. The only right action against these network abusers
is outright account termination. Please also note that many of the spam
ads advertise drugs and illegal computer penetration services which may
violate laws in jurisdictions involved.
Please in the future severely throttle all user posts to the
group sci.crypt and Usenet in general. It seems cheap and easy for
spammers to utilize google services as a vector for DDoS spamming
against Usenet. Long-time users of the group, 'sci.crypt' are either
being denied service, or severely annoyed by the endless flood of spam.
In the time it took me to write this short email dozens more spam
messages have flooded the newsgroup. Almost all of those messages
originate from google services in the Path headers. This flood attack
is ongoing 24/7 and is clearly an automated attack and it must be
stopped.
I also request that google post nocem and cancel messages for the last
50 thousand or so sci.crypt spam posts originating from google servers.
Please clean up the mess.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a valid
response indicating action to resolve this matter.
