 Time for self reflection
 In case you don't read any of what I have to say below, read this: I have 
 dual 
 citizenship. Along with my homeland citizenship, I am of the Internet, and 
 see 
 it as my personal duty to try and make the Internet safe.

 Atrivo (also known as Intercage), is a network known to host criminal 
 activity 
 for many years, is no more.

 Not being sarcastic for once, this is time for some self reflection.

 I wish I was one of those who sleep soundly tonight. Being clear in my 
 conviction that Atrivo should be out of business, and being positive my 
 decision to help that happen was sound--While I would do it again, I am sad.

 I won't sleep soundly tonight, as that company, criminal and abusive as it 
 clearly and contemptuously was, still sustained quite a few families in 
 several 
 layers of employment, from sysadmins sitting in the US of A all the way to 
 minor low-level fraudsters employed by their clients' clients.

 I will however, be able to look myself in the mirror for my part in the
 effort to get rid of them--and even gloat some. My conscious is as clear to 
 me 
 as my sadness is crystal. We may not have changed the wall of battle in the 
 long term and whenever one criminal falls, another jumps up to the 
 opportunities of the land of the free--the Internet. But for once, just for a 
 while, we halted the machine. We stopped the wheels of evil, even if only for 
 a 
 fortnight.

 While doing so, ee also touched some lives in a destructive fashion. The 
 criminals'.

 No villain ever sees himself as the bad guy, as the saying goes. A friend 
 recently showed me Russian language comments written on Brian Krebs' recent 
 Washington Post story. In them, the posters ask: why do you take our bread 
 away?

 In a lecture during ISOI 5, some folks just didn't understand the meaning. 
 Their bread. Their bread. We in the Western world, behind the cultural divide 
 speak a different language. Their culture isn't poorer than ours, it is 
 unequivocally different.

 We can not truly comprehend what it means for some folks in Russia to no 
 longer 
 be able to feed their children this month. Nor can we understand that by 
 sending email, we made those children starve. Cheap theatrics on my part, you 
 say? You got that right. It doesn't make it any less true.

 Cyber crime is a war waged against the Western world. At first, no one even 
 noticed and it was a niche.. an art. While the artists still exist, they are 
 a 
 minority, the hackers. For the criminals however, motive is as irrelevant as 
 nationality. Whatever actions are taken, be it a political defacement, fraud 
 or 
 spam, the unavoidable secondary impact remains the same: damage to the 
 Western 
 economy and security in an exponential growth which will become ever clearer 
 in 
 the coming years.

 Yes, my friends. I would do the same again. I feel sorry for Atrivo, but they 
 were harboring the equivalent for the Internet of active missile launchers 
 firing on Israel from the Gaza strip. They are human beings who hit a curve 
 in 
 the road to their success. Cyber criminals, however, establish such growth as 
 parasites and whatever I may feel for needing to resort to the end game 
 weaponry, these people need to be smacked down like cockroaches.

 Ten years ago they were a pride to their parents, today they are a scourge. 
 What will they be in ten years?

 If all reasonable and even some unreasonable approaches fail. That does not 
 mean I don't have to feel sorry for them, and me. But it also doesn't mean we 
 don't need to fight back.

 Not even a hundred years ago, disastrously, war was business and an
 acceptable horrifying part of life. A few years later, in 1918, war was
 unthinkable. In the century since we who live in or are influenced by
 Western culture made war no longer an option we can publicly stomach, while 
 facing those who would play us like children because of it.

 War is horrifying and evil, it is also a last resort in a world not as
 ascendant as we would like to think. The Internet has its own liberals and 
 I 
 am proud to be one of them. However, I am also practical and see that wishing 
 for a world we once had is not. A world where I could host files on my 
 neighbor's servers openly, where children could happily use pocket 
 calculators 
 and go to libraries for their school work rather than Google and read 
 Wikipedia. You did so, do your children?

 This new world has its price, and that price is a complete loss of public 
 privacy, and a culture of ineffective security.

 We are reliant on our Auntie Jane's computer knowledge for our own security,

minority, the hackers. For the criminals however, motive is as irrelevant as 
nationality. Whatever actions are taken, be it a political defacement, fraud or 
spam, the unavoidable secondary impact remains the same: damage to the Western 
economy and security in an exponential growth which will become ever clearer in 
the coming years.

Yes, my friends. I would do the same again. I feel sorry for Atrivo, but they 
were harboring the equivalent for the Internet of active missile launchers 
firing on Israel from the Gaza strip. They are human beings who hit a curve in 
the road to their success. Cyber criminals, however, establish such growth as 
parasites and whatever I may feel for needing to resort to the end game 
weaponry, these people need to be smacked down like cockroaches.

Ten years ago they were a pride to their parents, today they are a scourge. 
What will they be in ten years?

If all reasonable and even some unreasonable approaches fail. That does not 
mean I don't have to feel sorry for them, and me. But it also doesn't mean we 
don't need to fight back.

Not even a hundred years ago, disastrously, war was business and an
acceptable horrifying part of life. A few years later, in 1918, war was
unthinkable. In the century since we who live in or are influenced by
Western culture made war no longer an option we can publicly stomach, while 
facing those who would play us like children because of it.

War is horrifying and evil, it is also a last resort in a world not as
ascendant as we would like to think. The Internet has its own liberals and I 
am proud to be one of them. However, I am also practical and see that wishing 
for a world we once had is not. A world where I could host files on my 
neighbor's servers openly, where children could happily use pocket calculators 
and go to libraries for their school work rather than Google and read 
Wikipedia. You did so, do your children?

This new world has its price, and that price is a complete loss of public 
privacy, and a culture of ineffective security.

We are reliant on our Auntie Jane's computer knowledge for our own security, 
and while not many would follow us to our bathrooms to infringe on our personal 
privacy, online we have no privacy, however much it helps us to lie to 
ourselves that

Hi Gadi,

In answer to your last question:

  Enough whining though. Who is next on the target list? :)

Look at KnujOn's Top Ten Worst Registrars list. Joker and BLI have been 
handed breach notices by ICANN. EST will follow, then eNOM, then...

There is no need to worry about their bread, that's just the criminals 
trying to make us feel guilty. KnujOn was told that if we did not back 
off, a particular Chinese registrar was going to fire its low level abuse 
staff. These guys do not care about the people who work for them. They 
only care about their own bread. Please don't give in to their guilt trip.

The time has come for the criminals to find honest work, like the rest of 
us. There is plenty to do.

We are all of the Internet.

 Time for self reflection


 More seriously, why do I care so much? I have dual citizenship. Along with my
 homeland citizenship, I am of the Internet, and see it as my personal duty to
 try and make the Internet safe.

 Gadi Evron,
