That's not uncommon, unfortunately. I've off-and-on bothered to notify various entities about bad behavior for the last 15 years or so. In most cases, it goes completely ignored. Most recently, on April 2, I notified Rackspace's abuse department that they were hosting a major fraud/scam site (websitebackup.com, they send out fraudulent invoices and wait for non-tech-savvy customers to send payment) and never heard back. Rackspace is still hosting them.
It's just one of those facts of life: nobody really cares, not until they're directly affected by it somehow.
- lucb1e 12y agoHold on, Rackspace is not police. You have no legal right to demand that they cease to host anything and they have no legal obligation to look into anything sent to that email address. The company that got hacked and reported it to the police did: someone violated the law, we provided IP addresses and access logs to make it a clear and simple case, and then they didn't even look into it.
- thaumaturgy 12y agoYes, and that's not uncommon, whether police or state agency or otherwise.
- ersii 12y agoJust to be crispy clear, did you report the incident to the police or to some other state agency as well? Or only to Rackspace?
- thaumaturgy 12y agoNaw, that one just went to Rackspace. In the interests of clarity, I have also reported a thing here and there to local law enforcement over the years, but the experience was completely the same.
- madez 12y agothaumaturgy didn't complain about his legal rights being violated nor legal obligations of others being ignored. He complained about something much more general. > nobody really cares, not until they're directly affected by it somehow. He explicitly marked it as such. > It's just one of those facts of life: He is right.
