Title: Message A colleague informed
me this morning that Alan Ralsky is doing widespread bruteforce attacks on SMTP
AUTH, and they are succeeding, mainly because it's quick, painless (for him),
and servers and IDS signatures don't generally offer protection against
them.
Could this be why
everyone's locking up their mail servers all of a sudden?
Does anyone know of
a way to stop them?
