Usenet flooding may be interpreted as Denial of Service (DOS), which is an

This second, more extreme attack indicates that the severity is increasing,
and it has already reduced my ability to communicate freely and in a timely
fashion, while also wasting bandwidth and causing lost time for many
people.

If a large enough number of people who have been victimized by this
Cybercrime report it, perhaps resources will be allocated and the
perpetrators may be properly punished.

What's worse IMHO is the Altopia (alt.net) virtually approves of this behaviour.
They will only take action against it if it causes servers to fail !
