[Noisebridge-discuss] Alert for small businesses and small web-hosts

[Mitchel McAllister]

I just heard from my website administrator. It seems that a lot of small business websites/email accounts are getting spammed by "web.com" (http://whois.domaintools.com/web.com). He's already added it to our block list, but thought I'd give you all a head's-up.
