'Cirtex hosting' - suspicious MSN contact
Several people (including myself) have been contacted by an @cirtexhosting.com address via MSN - for example in this case; billing@cirtexhosting.com. Sometimes, whoever it is contacts customers, ex-customers and even non-customers demanding cPanel information.
I am not even a Cirtex customer, and only accepted the add request to see the inevitable and share the logs.

Are the @cirtexhosting.com addresses verified? (through MSN) If they are, there might be a problem.

hehe, good one!  Though you might have problems to actually get something done when notifying this Maroccan ISP of the abuse.

Basically; MSN lets you register anything, even stuff like lolhax@fbi.g0v - you will be able to add the email to your msn list, but you can't change its name from "not verified" until you click the link in the email..

ciao frog women!
HAHA
Yeah I'm surprised they're going after cirtexhosting when there are others out there much bigger with probably easier people to target (less knowledge).

Has anybody actually contacted Cirtex about this yet? They can click an alternative link in the email to disable the account (if they have that address set up).
I guess I'll send them a friendly poke towards this thread.

Its pretty sad to see someone doing something like this. I think Cirtex sending out an email to their clients would help.

"athentification" ... That enough should be alone for anyone to block that guy.
