Cexx Forums - End of an era

After nearly 15 years of operation, the cexx.org forums have been retired. Since 2000, these forums have served as a source of security advisories, malware information and removal assistance. Since 2003...

Hosted on:

Surviving the churn of message board software with varying levels of security...

And the ravening hordes of spam and malware attacks...

And lawyers...

A select few (har) users had a knack for acting as legal-threat lightning rods for whichever poor bastard was named on the WHOIS / hosting bills. Mostly for exposing malware vendors in the capacity of negative comments, warnings and removal instructions (they didn't like that!), but occasionally for posting business records and the home addresses of the CEOs, etc. (they REALLY didn't like that). The infamous "Dozier Internet Law" made an appearance as well.

And other stuff...

You've never shit a brick quite like the brick you shit when a stranger rings up your unlisted dorm phone and it's the Attorney General. Not from your state, either. Oh, you just want to talk about spyware companies, *phew*.
