So a friend emailed me this morning, forwarding a message he had received:

The link was:
http://www.ebayssecurity.net
So I checked a whois on the IP and found it was a dedicated server with Verio UK (the reverse DNS being also
www.ebayssecurity.net -- I sincerely hope no-one at Verio manually put up that rdns). So I sent off an email to abuse and of course hours and hours later, the server is still up and running. And I can imagine that eBay would have also been trying to get this server offline too, but that does appear to be much of a problem for Verio.
Is this how things "normally" happen in hosting companies?
