From Save the Internet Blog: AT&T Yields to Neutrality, Paves Path to Congress

Wired News: Cloaking Device Made for Spammers

According to Tubul, his group controls 450,000 “Trojaned” systems, most of them home computers running Windows with high-speed connections. The hacked systems contain special software developed by the Polish group that routes traffic between Internet users and customers’ websites through thousands of the hijacked computers. The numerous intermediary systems confound tools such as traceroute, effectively laundering the true location of the website. To utilize the service, customers simply configure their sites to use any of several domain-name system servers controlled by the Polish group, Tubul said.

Oh, there’s some good news. Thanks Microsoft for your secure OS.

Dumping Verizon DSL

Wednesday, August 27th, 2003

I have had nothing but problems with my Verizon DSL service for months now. After learning that the 26-gauge line to my home would never provide the DSL quality I expected and paid for, I determined to switch to Comcast and a cable modem. The line was hooked up this morning and here I am, enjoying high-speed, always-on, broadband Internet access!

I only wish it was that easy. The self-install CD failed to create my account correctly. I had to hold for nearly 20 minutes to speak with a tech who walked me through the manual account setup process and the various proxy servers they use.
