Joe's Random Ramblings

I learned about this via a post on the Usenet newsgroup NANAE (news.admin.net-abuse.email).

Apparently, a former Air-Force captain was able, using what looks like questionable means, to get control of large network blocks that rightfully belong to another company half-way across the continent in one case, and to NASA in another case. It seems he then turned around and sold access to the network blocks to spammers.
Read the whole story here:

Next time you are pi**ed about the amount of spam you receive, remember, it comes courtesy of NASA.
