85.150.144.253:6321 open socks4 proxy was used on 28 November for a
Hipcrime attack on nanae. And I got the port number by Googling so it
must have been open and was probably abused before that date.

It was used late North American Monday for a Hipcrime attack on
24hoursupport.helpdesk and the same open proxy was still there Tuesday
at 17:19 GMT.

At one time, RCN (formerly Erols) had the famous Afterburner on its
abuse desk. Now, it seems to have Dave Null.

Remember - go to RCN for your net-abuse needs. You put up a phishing

only IP authentication through RCN.

     He  sat back. A sense of complete helplessness had descended upon him.
To  begin with,  he did not know  with any certainty that this was 1984. It
must  be round  about that date, since  he was fairly sure that his age was
thirty-nine,  and he believed that he had been born in 1944 or 1945; but it
was never possible nowadays to pin down any date within a year or two.
     For  whom, it  suddenly occurred to him to wonder, was he writing this
diary?  For the future, for the unborn. His mind hovered for a moment round
the  doubtful date on the page, and then fetched up with a bump against the
Newspeak  word doublethink. For the first time the magnitude of what he had
undertaken  came home to him. How could you communicate with the future? It
