I see.
Well fight the good fight.

Peace Out.

i agree, what was their motive for doing this? nothing financial, the results are that you scared the shit out of a bunch of people, not like fraud or a DDOS attack which may cost a company money and/or the perpetrators would get something out of it, ransom, fraud proceeds, etc

just sounds like somebody got angry at asacp

where did they get the emails from? ASACP? (asking with all due respect, trying to make the connection on how children were affected)

You could make the same argument about slander and libel, but according to our laws, such actions can get you sued or put in jail. There doesn't have to be a financial loss in order to commit a felony.

Clearly, this attack was to discredit, embarrass, cause harm, etc to ASACP.org from someone who has a personal agenda and an axe to grind.



Fight the Message and the Messenger!

that sucks :(

Wow, hey Dick Tracy, before someone points a finger at me, I do have the means and motivation, but lack the mean-spiritness that this prank would have taken. However, this does kinda remind me of my last run in with ASACP, when someone mysteriously hacked and deleted my entire Lightspeed4 database for "giggles".

Mean people suck and karma can be a bitch.

You know, Mark, this kind of reminds me of some of the comments that were thrown around after 9/11

Yeah . . . well

I guess I missed something here . . .who said this was ASACP's mailing list?

The more I read, the more confused I get . . . who was pointing fingers at anyone?

I am going back to work

What a sick thing for people to do.

an interesting tidbit of news that has relevance to the harm that this "prank" can cause:

mark kernes of avn.com attended the senate judiciary subcommittee last week that was focusing on the adult entertainment industry (which no one from the adult biz was allowed to testify), and he recorded the folllowing (this isn't an official quote, but what he transcribed):

"The expanded reach and pervasiveness of pornography also affects our families and our children. According to recent reports, one in five children ages 10 to 17 has received a sexual solicitation over the Internet, and nine out of 10 children ages 8 to 16 who have Internet access have viewed porn Websites usually in the course of looking up information for homework."

While this "bad email" is truly a wrong (and illegal) thing, there might be some good to come out of it in light of how congress is looking at the adult industry.

Given ASACP's mission, combined with Best Practices guidelines and efforts to assist law enforcement in reporting the CP websites, it can certainly do a greater good for the adult online industry by its existance.


Fight the Doom and Gloom!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer organization.

I assumed if they used the server for a spoof that they implemented ASACP's mailing list in the process. Guess it does not work that way, goes to show ya what I know about this kinda thing. :1orglaugh
