From the Facebook pages come the thoughts of Chairman Stephens on :-
<http://wearehomogeneous.org/2014/07/03/the-history-of-stophaus/>

=======================================

The STOPhaus Movement gained notoriety during the, then largest DDoS attack in recorded history, against anti-spam outfit Spamhaus. The 300gps attack inundated Spamhaus’ removal servers for 5 days before they recruited an American firm by the name of Cloudflare to mitigate the attack. After another 3 days of unsuccessful attempts to mitigate the attack, Cloudflare put out a press release that startled the world entitled, “The DDoS that Almost Broke The Internet”. This press release was picked up by Nicole Perlroth of the New York Times and reprinted in almost every tech column across the globe. The actors behind the attack were mysteriously known as a collective called STOPhaus. What was unknown is what STOPhaus is and what led up to the attack that was so abusively misreported.

In 2009 I operated a small IT and Web Design firm in Cincinnati, OH called IBT, Inc. or Integrated Business Technologies. During it’s startup phase I hired a systems administrator from Craigslist named Donald D.. This admin was more than adequate to operate our network, but came from a business that used “spam” as a marketing tool. He was the SysAdmin for a job-board and his former employer wanted him to send out email to the users that submitted resumes to the job board. I didn’t see an issue with that, but I was also not an expert in spam, other than that I knew I didn’t like it. I sure didn’t think we were spamming and we didn’t have complainers saying we were either, until Spamhaus complained very publicly that is.

We became close acquaintances until one day it seems that I found myself on a list ran by an international private organization named Spamhaus, that stated I was a “spam supporter” because Don setup this mailing system using one of the company’s ns records. The domain registration was not private because I, as the company rep, had no idea that we were doing something that was frowned upon and had not received “digital frowns” aka “complaints”. In a layman’s eyes, it appeared that we were marketing to opt-in recipients collected through authentic means and in 2009 I was still getting my feet wet in email marketing, so the fine lines between spam and commercial email had not been established.

The accusations in this ROKSO file were fictitious, egregious, libelous, and provoking and I was pretty easily provoked at the time. So, I went on to a USENET group called N.A.N.A.E. to find the CEO of this abusive DNSBL (blacklist) operator, Stephen John Linford, as he founded his efforts on this group and his support system is active there. I was quickly attacked and called vicious names as were my family and friends and I didn’t take kindly to such activities, so I responded with a mass media campaign against this type of behavior.

During this media campaign Spamhaus used their support system to knock down blogs hosted on WordPress, Blogger, and Webs. They had Gmail accounts removed, over 100 virtual servers were terminated, a dozen or more dedicated servers were terminated with no warning or explanation other than, “because you are on the Spamhaus list”, and several hundred domains were rendered useless by underhanded tactics of getting a registrar to suspend a domain name… waiting on it to be transferred to a new registrar (by coercion)…and then having the new registrar do the same so the ICANN waiting period would prevent material from being hosted on the domain. This is only one of many attacks Spamhaus initiated against our media sites, which were merely hosted to combat the libel Spamhaus was publishing.

This went on for a number of years before we finally started The STOPhaus Movement in Nov. of 2011, which was an effort to make the abusers see their abuse via mimicking them. Spamhaus did not like this much and started attacking the hosts for STOPhaus materials until we finally located Sven Olaf Kamphuis of Cyberbunker o n the Spamhaus ROKSO list. Yes, Spamhaus was our referral to Cyberbunker. Sven told us, “If it is not illegal, we will host it”. We were ecstatic to find someone that believed in free media, but the ecstasy would be short-lived, as Spamhaus attacked Cyberbunker’s upstream continuously, trying to force them to shut down the STOPhaus content, and they refused…but Steve Linford and his band of extortionists were not going to stop harassing our ISPs until they were able to stop the media campaign against them. That is, until their actions made headline news across the globe and they were put under a microscope and didn’t have a lot of choice other than to back off.

In March of 2013 a group was formed with the intent to shut down Spamhaus. This group had no name, only met on IRC, Jabber, and Skype. The group included ISPs and domain registrars from 5 continents and over a dozen countries…all with one goal…stop DNSBL Censorship. One day an attack was begun against Spamhaus’ by a member of the group and the group supported the attacker in his efforts to “make a statement”. This was not an anonymous attack by criminals with motives of financial gain, it was a protest by innocent civilians who were being attacked in the shadows by a private censorship component, complete with propaganda, and demands.

When it became international news we knew we had to take credit for it or our goals would never be released and the attack would be in vain, so we had to find a spokesman and a name for the group. Sven had already done such things for Cyberbunker, so he was perfect and volunteered to be the public relations coordinator and the name “STOPhaus” was already being used to combat such things. So we took the name TSM or The STOPhaus Movement and Sven contacted the media for interviews. This put the heat on Sven and we knew that he would eventually be persecuted for being the messenger, but he’s a team player and was willing to be self-sacrificial for the good of the internet community as a whole…like he’s always done.

Little did we know that the media would then make it about a scuffle between Cyberbunker and Spamhaus. That was actually a great unexpected twist to minimize the movement, but ultimately a failure because a movement can’t be silenced. The actors behind the Spamhaus attack were making a global point, that DNSBLs who use their influence to censor media or to profit are not doing a public service, but rather working on someone’s agenda and censoring media in the process. In Spamhaus’ case, the agenda belongs to large media Corps looking to control opinion, such as Google and Email Service Providers (see MAAWG). Other DNSBLs may have other agendas, but the fact that private DNSBLs have enough influence to cause the censorship of media and have the agenda of manipulating public opinion is quite enough to get our attention.

The STOPhaus Movement has several accounts, including a twitter account, several FB groups, and their own IRC channel but no individual administers any of them. The groups have dynamic administration teams and even the domains such as stophaus.com and stopspamhaus.com are controlled by several entities in multiple countries. STOPhaus is merely a voice for those that choose to note security flaws in the internet that affect a human’s ability to publish opinion. If those flaws are tied into spam-fighting then they need to be fixed so that spam can be fought without private blacklists and ISPs working cooperatively or by coercion to eliminate opinions they find unsettling.

The STOPhaus attack has proven that Spamhaus is using AMERICAN PUBLIC SERVANTS to mitigate attacks vicariously through Cloudflare, that Cloudflare is using American Law Enforcement to mitigate DDoS attacks that they are being paid to mitigate themselves, and that DNSBLs have far too much influence on internet media to remain unregulated by democratically elected global authorities. The STOPhaus attack readdressed a major flaw in the entire internet protocol, made the internet community aware of DNSBL coercion, and brought attention to DoS attacks, conducted by Spamhaus in the shadows for a decade. As long as private business are allowed to use capitalism to control media, the internet will always be a propaganda machine instead of an information superhighway. Sign The Petition to STOP SPAMHAUS!

So here we have Andrew Stephens admitting that he was part of The Stophaus Movement that was responsible for a DDOS on Spamhaus.

Currently just Stephens' dealings with known dedicated cybercrime 
hosters (Yuri 2x4, WebExxpurts/turbovps, etc). It is often amazing to 
find how closely connected Stephens is to known Russian, Ukrainian 
and Estonian crime operations whose businesses are 'bp hosting' for 
criminals running banking trojans and a large amount of the 
cybercrime that specifically targets the EU and US public.

He is a small fry fish in that sea but the communications we monitor 
connect Stephens with a lot of ongoing bad stuff by guys high on our 
(and LE) list. Also until some months ago Stephens was still 
distributing the 'DP Mailer' spamware, although it's hard to imagine 
anyone with a functioning brain purchasing that.

Were we to see those connections drop off our team would have no 
objection at all to removing Stephens as we can easily put him 
straight back on if he gets involved in spamming again.

Although participating in the thread, neither Andrew and/or Ragnar directly answered 

or disputed any facts given by any Spamhaus representative.

Using his often used trick of ignoring any difficult facts, he then waits for a week 

or so before putting his spin on the subject and hoping that no one notices that his 

version differs from the original. Andrew is now denying that he knew that his fellow admins 

were carders.

This is priceless :-) Yesterday user:Nightmare posted info about 
STOPhaus Admin 'Sha' outing him as a carder and 'bp hosting' criminal. 
Following up to that post Spamdrew pretends not to know that the 
others in STOPhaus are all criminals and feigns being appalled at 
having carder criminals as co-Admins.

As these posts will no doubt get deleted from STOPhaus I think we 
should archive here any DOXes that get posted on the admins :-)

Sha is an admin yes. Real name Vitalii Boiko AKA Vitaliyi Boyiko from 
Ukraine, AKA bulletproof crime hosting company Xentime.com, AKA 
urdn.com.ua "Ukrainian Data Network" a host specializing only in 
hosting criminals, carders and bots. Sha is heavily involved in stolen 
credit cards business. Sha ran kurupt.ru, a site for carders swapping 
stolen credit cards. Some real quality criminals running this STOPhaus 
forum...

 Didn't Know That
I never realized that Sha ran kurupt.ru. Isn't that a very illegal 
board of mostly Russians that only do carding for American cards and 
then sell them to criminals that end up harming only American economy?

You bet Andrew, that's exactly Sha's business - carding and 
"Bulletproof hosting" for carders, botmasters and the scum nobody else 
will host - same as Yuri Bogdanov (AKA 2x4.ru) and Sven Olaf Kamphuis 
(AKA cb3rob.net). These assholes make their money from 'bp' hosting 
the scum that rips off your mother, your father, your brothers and 
sisters. Everytime an American has their credit card stolen it ends up 
on sites like Sha's kurupt.ru where Sha and his friends milk it for 
everything the card owner had on it. 

Do you want me to post the evidence that Sha (AKA Vitalii Boiko AKA 
Vitaliyi Boyiko, a Ukrainian cybercriminal currently living in Paris 
France) operates kurupt.ru? I can post a whole DOX on Sha if you like, 
his home addresses in France and Ukraine, his domains and IPs 
(although Spamhaus did get all of Sha's urdn.com.ua IPs but they 
missed his IPs at resilans.se, maybe they should look better after 
they see the DOX and the rest of his domains).

And just i case you think I'm a "NANAEITE" I am certainly not I'm just 
someone who hates the criminals who prey on the internet public: The 
carders, trojan assholes and botnet guys, and even more I hate the 
assholes who make their living hosting them: Vitalii Boiko, Yuri 
Bogdanov, Sven Olaf Kamphuis (yes Sven now quit cybercrime hosting but 
I'm sure only while he waits for his trial).

BTW:: Yuri Bogdanov is another STOPhaus Admin I will expose with a DOX 
now. Nice company you kept here on STOPhaus huh?

Dns Expert - Sys Admin Gig
Posting ID : #1007371070
Date Posted : 2012-01-31
Group : Computer Gigs

I am in the need for a Systems Administrator in the local area that is a 
master of DNS records. I am looking for redundancy for some websites 
that are being attacked. I have gone through DoS mitigation services, 
dynamic DNS services, et al. I am not looking for upstream form some 
random service online because I am fighting with a DNSBL that has a bit 
of power to manipulate these services to shut down our websites.

I do not wish to be dependent on services that will react to every 
complaint they get. Instead I am setting up a local machine and want to 
use it specifically to run cPanel DNS Only and will be using some VPS 
servers for the backup DNS. Kind of a round-robin load balancing setup 
more than a cluster DNS. If you know how to keep DNS redundant and can 
help...please call me at 513-277-0424 and we'll discuss payment and 
pricing. Please don't call if you are some Level 1 tech with littel to 
know real-world experience with DNSBL blacklists or advanced DNS.

PS. This is not for email so no spam support please. We are hosting 
content to smear Spamhaus so if you know anything about Spamhaus then 
you know why DNS is an issue doing this and we do not want to break any 
laws in our efforts. We just need a solid redundant DNS system.

Call Andrew at: 513-277-0424 or Skype me at eDataKing (it'll come up as

The Rules of Spam

		The Rules Of Spam
Rule #0: Spam is theft.
	Angel's Commentary: Spammers believe it's okay to steal a little bit from each person on the Internet at once.
Rule #1: Spammers lie.
	Russel's Admonition: Always assume that there is a measurable chance that the entity you are dealing with is a spammer. Lexical Contradiction: Spammers will redefine any term in order to disguise their abuse of Internet resources.       Sharp's Corollary: Spammers attempt to re-define "spamming" as that which they do not do.       Finnell's Corollary: Spammers define "remove" as "validate."
Rule #2: If a spammer seems to be telling the truth, see Rule #1.
	Crissman's Corollary: A spammer, when caught, blames his victims. Moore's Corollary: Spammers' lies are seldom questioned by mainstream media.
Rule #3: Spammers are stupid.
	Krueger's Corollary: Spammer lies are really stupid.       Pickett's Commentary: Spammer lies are boring. Russell's Corollary: Never underestimate the stupidity of spammers. Spinosa's Corollary: Spammers assume everybody is more stupid than themselves. Spammer's Standard of Discourse: Threats and intimidation trump facts and logic.
Rule #4: The natural course of a spamming business is to go bankrupt.
Rules-Keeper Shaffer's Refrain: Spammers routinely prove the Rules of Spam are valid.
It has been noted that the Rules of Spam are equally applicable to spam-supporters, spam-tolerant ISPs, and various others who directly or indirectly profit from spam. The Rules also apply to those people (such as candidates for political office, solicitors for "worthy" causes, propagators of religious faiths, etc.) who deem their message to be of such overwhelming importance that it utterly transcends the rights of others to have the sole and uninhibited enjoyment of their personal property. <http://www.stophaus.org/rules_of_spam.html> <http://www.toastedspam.com/rules_of_spam.html> <http://www.spamsucks.us/rules_of_spam.html>

Andrew Jacob Stephens. The deja vous sequence

From :-  <http://al.howardknight.net/msgid.cgi?ID=136991821300>
Posted on March 29, 2011.

From the hapless Andrew Brunner of 1999, to the insane Harry
Widdefield, to the clueless Bubba Catts, the narcissistic Tim Bolen,
and the many other buffoons I've forgotten, countless grunting
spammers have stumbled along down the same path as currently occupied
by the latest in the procession of IQ neanderthals, Andrew Stephens.


The path is well travelled and always has more or less this same
sequence of events. I'll label them below so that future spammers who
land in here thinking they're the first to take on 'the antis' can be
pointed to where they are in the "pass through NANAE and out through
the swinging doors, minus all your domains" sequence:


[A] Freshly terminated spammer finds NANAE and assumes NANAE is
Spamhaus. Spammer posts a declaration of his awesome greatness,
proclaims that the economy depends on his spam, announces that
anti-spam organizations are doomed and he's the revolutionary warrior
that will finish them.


[B] Spammer upset by all the laughter following his post, claims to
have a department of lawyers at his beck and call and that he's
working on a landmark lawsuit. Upset at the even louder laughter this
produces, Spammer claims he's reporting everyone to the FBI, FTC,
FCC, CIA and the Federation of Planets. Upset at the even louder
laughter this produces, Spammer claims to have an in with bigwigs on
Capitol Hill who will pass laws for him outlawing the use of
anti-spam filters.


[C] Spammer trying to figure out why everyone is falling about
laughing, begins to google for "Spamhaus" and finds demented
disinformation by other grunting spammers who've been down the exact
same path before him. Spammer triumphantly quotes the unhinged
mad-hatter propaganda, proclaiming "There's my proof!".


[D] Spammer upset at the ensuing howls of laughter, and pride hurt by
discovering his new-found friend is a certified fruit cake, sets up
yet-another "I-hate-Spamhaus" website and proudly announces the end
of Spamhaus will be brought about imminently by his "Anti-Spamhaus"
website which has now achieved 17 hits.


[E] Spammer googles a bit and discovers Linford lives on a houseboat
in the UK. Spammer discovers Linford owns an ISP, and the revelation
prompts a new effort to conjure up a conflict of interest. When the
logic escapes him, Spammer googles some more and discovers said ISP
is not in the UK... and neither is Linford... which prompts a new
effort to conjure up an image of tax evasion since people who don't
live in the UK should, spammer thinks, pay taxes where they don't
live, just to confound the taxman, instead of in the country where
they actually do reside. When that logic also fails, Spammer claims
it's not fair that Spamhaus can be wherever it wants and organize its
structure as it likes.

[F] When the spammer's efforts to tie felonious sins to Spamhaus fail,
spammer proclaims he is now working on a soopa-sekrit invention that
will bypass all spam filters, and/or claims to be about to release a
'blocklist of anti-spammers', and/or claims he's building his own
Intertube backbone so nobody can terminate him again.


[G] Having run the course of a few weeks which prompted only
hysterical laughter from the NANAE group, Spammer decides that NANAE
was not Spamhaus after-all and announces that although he is leaving
minus all the domains and IP space he came in with, he is leaving
with a moral victory anyway and that everyone will be very, very
sorry one day when he is elected President or he manages to file his
earth-shattering RICO lawsuit.

Andrew Stephens accuses Ms. Beverly of being a terrorist

Andrew, in his usual "charming" manner, decides to impersonate Ms. Ickes while posting from his stephensboy@gmail account. He's trying to get Richard Morton Scoville, the serial libeler, to fight his battles for him. What a coward!

That means you CHOOSE to speak out of ignorance. That means you are IGNORANT!!! PS. Scoville, are you sure that Beverly Ickes of Oregon is not a Cougar Pedo? You may want to check on that, she is certainly in support of terrorism, so being a Pedo wouldn't be far fetched. Hmmm? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Left intact to archive on google.
