Or why can't he use that VPS? Oh, and if he's so tight on cash, why did he bother to buy spinhome.org, spinhome.net, and spinhome.com? http://www.domaintools.com/reverse-ip/?hostname=spinhome.org If Rob Levin can’t afford a shell for his o:line, why can he afford a VPS for spinhome.org?

It adds another step to cracking security. Theres a difference between @* and @dynamic.ip.range.at.a.specific.isp (ex: @*.port.east.verizon.net), which was the whole issue.

And when Rob later said he can't afford a shell account so that his host is static and he can lose the @* o:line... Whatever you think about lilo and about Freenode, this is shoddy network management and there is absolutely no excuse, the attack has exposed a number of very serious (and incredibly n00bish) security flaws and they really need to get their acts together!
