IMAP attacks continue

Sun Nov 22 18:51:19 UTC 1998

The frequency of IMAP attacks is increasing, and the number of IP
addresses scanned per attack seems to be increasing as well. In the last
24 hours, I've been scanned by:

	fermi.math.csi.cuny.edu
	c149.lib.uci.edu
	sockeye.cob.calpoly.edu
	quebec.upa.qc.ca

Anyone upstream of any of these able to add a Sniffer? It'd be
interesting to see if someone is connected in via telnet or ssh and
launching the attacks remotely. With all of these types of attack in the
last several days, the systems doing the attacking have all been ones
that were compromised.
