Cluster abuse..

Todays topic is about why I strongly dislike DX Summit.

DX Summit was recently overhauled and much improved. Unfortunately it is
still a rather simple process to spoof or fake a submitters call sign.
While there is technology to prevent this, the owners of DX Summit have
not implemented it.

Today, my own call sign is being abused on DX Summit as it is being
spoofed to initiate fake P5 DX spots. I call upon the owners/operators
of DX Summit to fix your cluster to prevent this abuse!

What do you think?

Is there really technology to prevent this? Normally it requires
substantial cryptography or validation through some key info that can be
verified.

So no one knows anything about the ease with which this can be spoofed?
I would have thought it would be of interest. What is the method for
establishing this connection?
