I have a cable connection through Cox, and I'm getting 75 to 100 Swens per day. (The first couple of days, I had over a hundred per day.) You guys got it easy. I'm still getting several hundred per day. I have my email program set to download every two minutes- only way to keep the server from bouncing good emails. Then my filters dump the garbage. Is this thing just local to radio-related usenet users? I'd think if it were global, you'd hear more news stories about it. I noticed the Swen within a few hours of its start. I knew something must be up, because my company's IT admin had sent an 8PM notice of his intent to shut down the corporate email servers in ANTICIPATION of a net attack. (I gotta find out who he talks to!) As soon as I saw that slick graphic, I knew this was going to be a big deal. I watched the various TV newscasts over the next few days. Near total ignorance. And the few vague mentions seemed to confuse Swen with the earlier SoBig. As far as I could tell, all the major news outlets were at least 3 or 4 days behind the curve on the Swen attack. And even now, few mentions have been given to the one problem that is bugging me, and that's the simple byte volume that fills your mailbox till it gags. Anyway, it's only gonna be a short time till the next attack of whatever hits. And Swen will be down in the noise level, and almost as forgotten as Melissa. Ed WB6WSN |
