Crack attempt

[Brian Densmore]

Interesting thing is this address is also a frequent
visitor to West Virginia University. Possibly taking
classes there? I've emailed the abuse department,
have not heard back yet.

Could it be related to my complaint about beef inspection?
Maybe they are confusing me with my cousin who is a cattle
rustler? (just kidding all you secret policemen out there)
Hey Doesn't Brian K. work for these people? ;')

It could also be a friend of mine playing a joke on me.
He investigates cattle rustling and such stuff for the USDA
people. Yeah, cattle rustling is big business in the US,
it just doesn't make headlines much. I don't put much stock
in this theory though. He's got better things to do at 3am.

My bet is the ip is spoofed somehow, or one of the USDAs
networks has been compromised. In any event, I'd recommend
anyone who has a PC visible to the net to block this address.
So far it's the only one in that block I've seen. I've got 24
entries in my blacklist.
