Usenet.nl the target of hacker attacks
As the Usenet Provider (make sure to check our review) indicated in an official press release on Wednesday, its homepage has become the target of massive hacker attacks over the last few days. The consequence of the “large-scale DDoS attack on the company’s product website” was that Usenet.nl was unavailable for several hours on 23 and 24 June and again on 28 June.
The attacks seem to be a direct continuation of the aggressive hacker attacks which have been carried out on the services and websites of a number of well-known companies over the past weeks and months. The highest profile case seen recently has probably been the attack on Sony’s Playstation Network in April this year. The most awkward aspect of this occurrence was the fact that in addition to paralysing the whole network for a period of weeks the hackers also succeeded in stealing millions of pieces of sensitive customer information, some of which were published online.
Fortunately, this is not a problem which the operators of Usenet.nl face. Extensive security measures have also now been put in place to prevent renewed incidents caused by hackers.
No details have as yet emerged as to the persons responsible for the attack. The hope is that this attack on one of the largest Usenet providers will remain an isolated case. As always, we will keep you up to date with any developments as they happen!

UseNeXT brings the Freezone to the Net!
One truly special feature offered by Usenet provider Usenext. is the so-called Freezone. It is a platform where users can upload open source software, music, videos and much more besides, allowing other users free access to it. It is home to scores of freeware programmes – from VLC Media Player to a tool which helps generate work reference documents. But that's not all, it also features trailers for the latest films and songs from young, upcoming musicians just waiting to be discovered in the Freezone.
And the best bit – as the name suggests, the Freezone does not have any download limits. In other words, you can download as much as you want and the downloaded volume is not deducted from your monthly download account!
From today you can also browse the Freezone directly via the UseNeXT website. In addition to an overview of the most popular and latest downloads, users can also view a complete list of all newsgroups available in the Freezone. The individual binaries can be subsequently downloaded via the UseNeXT client.
