Hi
just a thing we noticed last year after the last big hack fest was that
although we didn't get hacked we did get the kiddies using the credit card
info they gained to get "proper" accounts on our machines - we caught one
in the act of uploading his toolkit!
We then got hit by about 15 different attempts to buy hosting packages (and
in fact still are getting hit 9 months later)
This is even more dangerous than the Bind hack as they are inside jobs -
they take there time
There are some defining features of the attempts but don't want to post
them here - it's our only step ahead right now! But we ill send what little
info we have on there patterns to any sys admin email address if anyone
wants it - just email me off-list.
