[Dxspider-support] Spot with False Origin Nodes

[Mikel EA2CW]

Lorenzo,

After our bad management of the situation we have suffered and all the 
arguments you've presented, perhaps you can go a step forward and 
explain me the following facts:

- I have a dxspider server, EA2CW-2
- In order to be able to send spots from my server, the users must be 
registered and been assigned a password, precisely to avoid one of the 
sources of fake spots.
- No matter this, I was able to find, using the command:
sh/dx origin EA2CW-2
(which shows the spots originated from my server -suppossely-)
the following spots list. These are ALL the spots "sent from my server" 
on these last days:

   14253.0 II2WWA      29-Jan-2025 0849Z SSB w w a <IK2YCW>
    3581.0 EG5WWA      28-Jan-2025 2258Z WWA25 RTTY <EA5JDN>
    3713.0 EG5WWA      28-Jan-2025 2249Z strong ssb <EA5JDN>
   14282.0 RW1F        28-Jan-2025 1538Z world wide award <IW1FRU>
   14034.0 EG3WWA      28-Jan-2025 1525Z CW TNX <EA3FZT>
   28182.4 GB6WWA      28-Jan-2025 1312Z wwa <GW4SKA>
   24953.2 HB9WWA      28-Jan-2025 0932Z 25WWA ssb <HB9HLM>
   14345.0 II3WWA      28-Jan-2025 0905Z <IV3JCC>
   14220.0 BY4DX       27-Jan-2025 1353Z SSB tnx wwa <BA4VE>
   18141.0 II2WWA      27-Jan-2025 1335Z SSB worldwide award <IK2YCW>

You can be sure that:
- None of those callsigns are registered at my node,
- Any of them has logged in my server,
- They don't have passwords,
- Finally, they are not allowed to send spots from my node.

So, how can these spots have appeared on the net?

This is only my case, but I know several more have happened.
