Today I had an e-mail from the “BNP IT Warfare Unit”. Actually I had 10 e-mails from them, all addressed to the Crawley UAF address.

In itself, 10 e-mails is not much of an annoyance, I get more than that from Wordpress telling me of spam comments which need moderating (I have now turned off notification for that!) but there are a few interesting speculations about all this.

Firstly, are the BNP really trying to flood the mailboxes of those known to be against them, or is it a sympathiser acting on his own? Do they really think that 10 e-mails in a day is an effective DDOS attack? Nice job though - very well-spoofed headers, with all 10 mails purporting to come from 10 different spurious addresses in different countries, and 10 different x-reply-to addresses showing a sense of humour: addresses in the NHS, Merton council, John Prescott and South Wales police, for example.

I guess that much more prominent organisations like the Lancaster UAF are getting the same thing.

What a typical BNP-type name though… “Crusaders”, with its little nod to the anti-muslim crusades.

On the whole I am quite pleased to see that they have recognised the futility of attempting rational argument to back up their irrational views. I can only see the existance of an “IT Warfare Unit” as being an act of surrender rather than an act of aggression.
