Re: [IAC] [HJ+IAC] PRESS RELEASE. IAC++ list shut by Indian Govt hackers.

Dear Mr. Mandar Jog

This is the 3rd time this has happened.

It is orchestrated by Team-Arvind because we recently circulated some messages about Aam Aadmi Party workers beating a cop to death. We also circulated another message
about Kiran Bedi and us terminating her from IAC primary membership at her request.

The last time this happened on 26.Oct.2012 we tracked it down to a flood of spam emails emanating from CSD a NGO (a Govt financed NGO) where AAP core member Yogendra Yadav is faculty. CSD also runs the sarai.net mailing lists

All details are with the riseup.net techs. But as its X'mas they are slow in getting back to us.

We suspect that this time Team-Arvind generated a flood of fake list "abuse" messages by spoofing our subscribers.

We have basic alternate arrangements in place. We've asked riseup to restore the list. We have also started switching IAC members to our sympathetic lists like "HumJanenge" and "Hum". A separate low traffic mailing list of media [IAC-media] is also operational.
