Hmm, just read on this Jack guy. What was that thing? He was 35 years old and wasn't sick or obese.
Now, for people who believe the generally good nature of states (and/or Santa) this might not even raise an eyebrow, but for people who have read their history, well...
Port 18456 is the port BTW. If you do a masscan sweep you'll find a ton of them facing the internet.....
I don't think he ever released his exploit or scrooge rootkit.
