I have sent numerous complaints about this to the abuse address of T-Online and T-IPnet already, with logfiles indicating the times and IP addresses from where the junk came from. To no avail, they have done nothing so far, other than complaining once about the encoding of the attachments, which they thought was base64 while in fact it was 7bit (readable in any mailreader).
You and many, *many* other people. I've complained to t-online innumerable times about the behaviour of their users, and have received no feedback whatsoever. I've come to the conclusion that t-online (and especially t-dialin) users are a wretched hive of scum and villainy; and that the company itself simply doesn't care.
If I could convince my bosses that blocking t-online ranges at the border was a good idea, I'd have a much easier job as a sysadmin.
What other options do I have to stop this system for further distributing virusses?
Shovels, pitchforks and other implements of destruction liberally applied to the person responsible. There's no simple way of stopping someone else joe-jobbing you.
It would help if anyone knew the correct German police department to complain to.
Hello, we have had a lot of trouble with Deutsche Telekom & T-Online in the past, too. After several terrible meetings somebody called: "Regulierungsbehörde für Telekommunikation und Post" (http://www.regtp.de/) as they are not only responsible for phone numbers & stuff, but also should provide contacts for electronical problems. As far as I remember the answer my collegue got was: contact " Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik" (http://www.bsi.de/) Well, I had to leave the company in the meanwhile (7 month ago), so I have no idea what happend next. But maybe its worth to give it a try ...
I for one would particularly like to find whoever was 217.234.167.14 (pD9EAA70E.dip.t-dialin.net) at 23:53 on 14/5/04 and point out to them that what they were doing was illegal and punishable by time in prison.
(It goes without saying that t-online were informed and there has so far been no response.)
best wishes,
Gideon Hallett.
