Chris.
I am seeking suggestions on what I can do to resolve redworm activity
hitting my hosts.
The Story:
my cable modem. I called them half dozen times over a thirty day period to
inquire why and to try to take some action to resolve the issue. The end
result of those calls was to be asked were my service working, yes, then no
After a month of this I again insisted on speaking to a manager, and was
transferred to the abuse department. I sent them my tcpdump logs and it was
they had yet to take any proactive action to deal with the nuisance, but
assured me they would be scanning their network and contacting members
infected with the virus.
Another month has passed, the problem is still unresolved. My tcpdump log
is 45 to 50 mb in size after a 24 hour period and at least one poster here
is unable to even reach my Linux Apache server.
What can I do?
