QWest not Serious about Cyber Security
This site, being on the Internet 7/24, gets hit by a high variety of intrusion and other unauthorized access attempts. For the most part, when I inform the ISP from where these attempts come from, they are prompt in securing their infected Microsoft clients. QWest.net, though, appears to have a great deal of trouble.

After three notifications (and through five attacks), I have recieved another two attacks today from the same QWest costomer. I asked for a reason to not ban the entire 130.13.0.0 - 130.13.255.255 QWest domain, and never recieved any kind of reply.

The continued attacks tell me that they are not serious about cyber security at QWest. I'm done trying to warn them of their security problems. If you are a QWest customer with the IP address in the range of 130.13.0.0-130.13.255.255 (QWest Denver, I believe), your access to this site will be cut off shortly, unless I hear a compelling reason from QWest not to. They don't seem to listen to me, so perhaps they'll listen to their own customers.

I regret having to take such extreme measures. But there's no easy way to get some ISPs to take cyber security seriously.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
