- Has anyone else heard of this system? I'm getting tons of FTP connections
- from it.
-
- The domain "pleasure.com" does not actually exist. The IP address used is
- 192.160.196.5, which is mapped to "pleasure.com". The IP address actually
- belong to InteleCom Data Systems (NET-NET-IDS-COM).
-
- Isn't mapping to a false name against the rules?
-
- This site appears to a BBS for erotica gifs and such, which may violate some
- of the regulations of some networks. Apparently a user can have that system
- ftp files to their own account, which is why I see the FTP connections.
- however I am concerned about the methods used to do this, as it may require
- the divluging of the users password.
