Hi Everyone
We recently stopped a guy exchanging $2k worth of stolen evos
to e-gold. He is now waging a war with us by bombarding our
e-mail server with all sorts of crap.
He has closed e-Bay auctions on our behalf using a fake user
id and opened up various new e-mail addresses redirecting
them to our main address.
He has also attempted Domain name transfers using my e-mail
address
All your domains should be registered with a hushmail address.
Hushmail has a wonderful system for dealing with lost or
forgotten passwords. They tell you if you forget the
password, hard shit. Hey, but I have the credit card that
opened that email account -- billing records, birth
certificate, passport, the pope will vouch for my identity.
To which they again reply hard shit
In contrast, most email providers have an alarmingly helpful
help desk to deal with supposedly lost or forgotten passwords,
a help desk staffed by morons on the basic wage.
I feel it is worth paying extra for the wonderful lack of
service provided by hushmail. Of course you should use a
unique unguessable long passphrase and write it down in a safe
place.
