I don't know, when people's mail relays are intentionally or unintentionally

allowing others to abuse them to spam or otherwise send out objectionable material, in this case, it is the triggering of security systems on sites being scanned, why can't Quova and/or Exodus's network be

rejected by other people on the network as well?

BlackList the Exodus network and Quova until they can learn to show a sense of responsibility to the internet as a whole. If someone kept banging on my door and setting off my home security system all the time, I'd call

the cops, get a restraining order, and prime the home defense.

When people portscan my systems, I tell them to stop and block their

addresses. Just because it is a legitimate company doing this, does that

make it any more right?

This simply makes the Exodus network a source of future attacks because

what they are doing now is akin to crying wolf over and over again. Instead of simply ignoring them, it is perhaps better to simply disconnect them.

From the article, Exodus networks claimed that Quova's activities didn't violate their terms of usage. Well, while that might be true, the idea of someone mapping out my network is the same thing as a bunch of soon-to-be criminals casing my house/store/warehouse/etc.
