Fw: [sniffer] Re: [info-tech] Increase in spam
- Original Message - From: Matt To: Message Sniffer Community Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 3:23 PM Subject: [sniffer] Re: Increase in spam My connection traffic doubled over the course of two weeks. This started on about the 9th, and seems to have peaked and leveled off last week. The increase was mostly due to a new brute force spammer (a.k.a. dictionary attack), but static spam seems to have also increased by about 20%. I believe the static spam increase is Scott Richter lighting his companies back up, mostly at carolina.net, in addition to the brute force zombie spam and massive increase in backscatter that these attacks are causing. About 10% of connections to our gateways are the result of backscatter, with 30% of that coming from FrontBridge alone (bigfish.net).The new brute force spamming is not just simply higher volume, it also has more targets than before. This has helped to expose several customer's accounts that had a domain aliased with a catch-all and forwarded to an account that we were protecting. Previously, we never saw this since those domains weren't being attacked. I have no clue as to why anyone is still providing catch-alls, especially mail forwarding services like BulkRegister. It just seems like a good way to limit the capacity of a server by 75% or more.MattPete McNeil wrote: Hello Andrew, Wednesday, October 25, 2006, 1:33:20 PM, you wrote: For another organization's graph of spam trends as received by them, check out the updated graphs at TQM cubed: http://tqmcube.com/tide.php Their graph shows a sharp uptick at the end of June 2006. ...and a new upward trend around 0917.

Re: [info-tech] JMC/Elementary Report Cards
Ann- I hope you can make it. We'll meet at the HS library at 10:00. Hope to be done by 1:00. As I finish the last of my report cards for the trimester, I begin with a new stack of requests for midterms . . . I think you'll like the ease of the program. Again, hope to see you on the 9th! Have a good weekend! -Jackie On Oct 26, 2006, at 4:35 PM, A.Bloomquist wrote: Jackie, I hope to come to your JMC/Elem. Report Card session. I have to put in a request. Thanks for offering to help with this. I have Elementary Report Cards done in Filemaker Pro that was started with JMC before they offered this in the regular program. I am interested to see how the report cards turn out from within JMC and can then decide about getting them transferred over. Also interested in the Standards/Benchmark component of JMC. Also on my list of things to work on. Never ending, isn't it. I will send you a follow-up on my coming when it has been approved.
