Re: General Info Bulletin from DHS

[Scott Weeks <sweeks () SANDIEGO EDU>]

Complain to their upstream provider as it's against their usage policy.

From: http://www.affinity.com/about/legal/usage_policy.htm

   "Hacking" and related activities is prohibited. "Hacking" includes, but
   is not limited to, the following activities: illegally or without
   authorization, accessing computers, accounts or networks, penetrating
   or attempting to penetrate security measures, port scans, stealth
   scans, and other activities designed to assist in hacking.

However, in this financially strained ISP environment, Affinity may not
feel particularly urgent in disconnecting any customer...
