This is a security hole because the spotters are anonymous.  Their spots get sent out before their IP addresses get sent out.  This allows a rogue user to use as many different calls as he wants, without identifying him to the rest of the sysops.

    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?
