Racsa Under Attack By
Email Spammers
Had problems receiving
emails yesterday? The
Radiográfica
Costarricense S.A. (Racsa),
said the system
collapsed Wednesday
night and until the
early hours of Thursday
morning, following an
increased volume of
emails received from
outside Costa Rica.
Racsa's Christopher
Richardson explained
that the system received
a large number of 'paquets"
in the way of an attack
that led to Racsa's
email system crash for
five hours.
The emails came from
Miami and once its
source located they were
blocked, said
Richardson.
The majority of the
emails problems were
concentrated in the
areas of San Pedro,
Moravia, Guadalupe and
Tibás and attacked
mainly computers of
large companies. |
