If so he deserves to be, and worse.

However, looking at their wensite it seems they had a problem with
a spammer using their address, so maybe this is his way of 'paying
them back'

I've notified them, the rest is their problem. Dunno how hot the
Sussex police are on computer crime, but if you live in the UK
I'd refrain from trying any of those uid's

I'm not going to even attempt to try the uid's, I AM going to be on the
phone to them at 7:30 tomorrow when they open shop, might get a new
client out of them :)

I'm in Sussex, so they're almost local. I'll post back

You can mail me via the response form on my website,
I used to live in Haywards Heath but escaped via LGW

Checking the external addresses they are not responding so maybe
someone has caught on already.

Thanks for the attention on this guys,

Our tripwire system picked up an intrusion attempt onto our main server and
alerted me at 02:00 this morning.

It loooks as though someone found a way into our network and discovered an
email to our new network admin giving passwords etc.

I have changed all passwords and am in the processof changing usernames/IP
addressess.

Log files are being sent to Sussex Police. As a result of this, I would
recommend not attempting to connect on any of the IPs listed.

Many thanks for you attention on this guys.
