Hello,
the sci.crypt newsgroup has been, over the past few months,
under "hipcrime" attack: thousands over thousands nonsensical
computer-generated messages are posted, often impersonating
legitimate contributors, apparently using remotely controlled
machines acting as relays. This has made sci.crypt much less
usable.
I have developped empirical "kill" rules that I try to keep
up-to-date as the perp changes its relays. Others have found
this gives some level of relief (though a few false positives).
My "kill" rules are at

Hope this helps,
Francois Grieu
