FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OSAll (www.aviary-mag.com) is a leading computer security Web site, specializing in original news stories and methodology for computer security professionals.
The magazine has been featured in the likes of US News & World Report, CNN, Fox News, PC World and many other media organizations.
On Friday January 8, 2000, OSAll (www.aviary-mag.com) was taken off of its' Web server and all Internet connectivity was lost. Any attempts to contact aviary-mag.com for e-mail, FTP, http or other purposes will simply be rebuffed by the current host.
Reasons
The reason for this disconnection is not currently known, but rumors have begun to abound. This press release is intended to do several things – particularly attempt to settle those rumors. JP Vrasenevich, Frank Jones, the US Government and others have all had reason to disconnect OSAll. Of these, the only one who has definitely tried to have OSAll disconnected is Mr. Vrasenevich, Webmaster and founder of AntiOnline.
Vrasenevich has been complaining about OSAll to Communitech.net, the former host, for almost a year. Communitech.net added a Do Not Disconnect notice to the account, explaining that they would ignore Vrasenevich for the time being. Apparently these efforts have either been misplaced or Frank Jones has gotten to Communitech.net.
Frank Jones is President of Codex Data Systems, a fraud of a computer security company. They offer $500 a-head-lectures that explain that you need to use firewalls and claim to sell a product called "DIRT" to the Federal Government. Unfortunately, Frank Jones' probation for a conviction on defrauding the US Government prevents him from doing business with the FBI or any other federal agency. OSAll published an article regarding their lectures, and Frank Jones was hardly happy about it.
Is OSAll Returning?
Yes! NWO.net, the San Diego 2600 (sd2600.net), Radiusnet.net and several other sites have begun hosting mirrors of OSAll. NWO.net and the San Diego 2600 are exploring finding a permanent host for OSAll. In the mean time, you can find OSAll at NWO.net/osall and Radiusnet.net/~owl.
Starting on Wednesday, OSAll will be updated according to its normal schedule.
