Look at the abuse that
Mr. Atkinson sends out
to ISP to try and get his competion
off the Internet! Well not this time Mr. Atkinson!
Read a good example for the techno-fables that this "professional" sends out and then figure out for yourself if you would ever do business with such a person!
This was sent to PSI WEB Security as a way to have someone taken off the web!
On Monday someone attempted Denial of Service attack by forcing
metacharacter into our cgi and perl scripts from one of your
dial-up accounts.
When they weren't successful they started signing people up for
our mailing list. They stopped after signing up 247 subscribers.
Here are some of the header blocks from the log. There where
6212 attack attempts within a 34 minute period, and we suspect that
it was an automated attack via a dial-up modem.

Can you identify the comedian behind this mischief, and ensure that
it stops before we are forced to take legal action.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course Mr. Atkinson is trying
again! He tries to stifle the others in this business and has his associate
Mr. Jeff Frieburg help him. These two are
not worth the time or business
that
they try to aquire from others.
In fact, Mr. Atkinson was at the Jarvis Surveillance school and he was
set up by the instructor
for being a "Know-it-all" with a false piece of equipment. He stated thst
the federal govt sent him two of these devices and he stated that they
were not worth the purchase price and did not work! Of course he did not
know that the
instructor and two Feds had set
him up with false equipment model
numbers! He
was very quite afterwards!
