He has no reason to lie about an ongoing period of unauthorized access traced back to NextGenNews, that may have been possible through carding or compromised credentials. I think I will believe Blocknews/FrugalUsenet/UsenetNow rep /u/swintec in this instance. I've been an NGN user for a year or so and they are fine and above boardĮDIT I know most of the issues with their backend simply by asking them rather than guessing you could just ask the company lol. The two peering observations combined with comments by /u/swintec suggest that NextGenNews is filling their retention through unauthorized non-commercial accounts or some other nefarious means.Īlso it is important to point out that peering with another network does not guarantee an agreement for newsfeeds. u/swintec also mentioned previous problems with playing whack-a-mole with IP originating from different networks that ultimately might have traced back to NGN via testing. XS News and their commercial arm do not peer with i3D either. So at this point i3D peers with Eweka (Highwinds) and Giganews.Īstraweb (Searchtech) rarely provide commercial access. After Highwinds recent migration of Tweaknews userbase, Cambrium's NNTP backend will probably be shutdown soon if it did not happen already this week. I3D did not peer with Tweaknews, they peer with Cambrium IT Services, which previously ran Tweaknews (Cambrium Usenet Services) and which continues to serve Cambrium's ISP and hosting business. i3D does peer directly with Eweka Internet Services B.V. I3D does not peer directly with AS6450 Readnews and never has to my knowledge. Those comments also suggest NextGenNews were engaging in unauthorized access of systems or other illegal acts.Ībout i3D (upstream/host for NextGenNews. Did some searching and came across this exchange between /u/swintec and Chris Knipe the owner of NextGenNews.Ĭomments from that exchange appear to confirm that NextGenNews did not and may not still have legal newsfeed agreements with providers they claim to.
