    The 4Z5LZ-2 spotters are exploiting the hole in Spider security, which I have pointed out before.  They connect, immediately send a spot and immediately disconnect.   I would not be surprised to see more of this.



  Explain why this is a security hole?  They cannot do this at gb7mbc or hb9drv-9 unless they are registered, in which case I can easily stop the problem.  Can users not log in, post a spot and leave on CC cluster?  Some users actually do this as the norm!

  You could probably connect to my cluster and send a spot without problem.  Your friend WR3D probably could not since his IP address would identify his location as England and his call as American
