This was to be expected, but it is good to know that it really did happen. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/security/335226-here-are-the-police-charges-… I have high hopes for the new AFRINIC CEO. Quite obviously, he is not at all tained by the sins of the past, which have been, rather unfortunately, replete. Regards, rfg

It was great in the 1990s, when the Internet was smaller and people knew each other. About half the world's population now has some sort of Internet connectivity. Expecting organizations to be able to understand reports from such a diverse group of people is unreasonable. Lots of organizations won't have specialized abuse handling teams. If they don't have a specialized abuse handling team then they are unlikely to have people who understand the reports or processes for acting on them. Forcing these organizations to pretend that they will read and understand and then act on a report will never make it so. So let's stop pretending and put energy into something more productive than asking people to set up an autoresponder for an e-mail address whose mailbox will never be checked by a human.

I agree validating LOAs and such for routing changes would be on providers. Though if the changes were to be made in IRR data who would validate it? IRR data is authenticated by registry data in RIPE land, if the resource holder chooses so. Short story. So, nobody can create routes for, say, my address space unless I authorize that.

An arrest in Russia

Anyone have more details about this? https://belsat.eu/en/news/runet-founder-under-house-arrest/ The Czech company that allagedly received the allegedly stolen 7.5 "B" blocks (/16) would seem to be this one: ORG-RCS23-RIPE AS15731 https://www.ripe.net/membership/indices/data/cz.relcom.html But I am not seeing that ORG as having quite that many IPv4 addresses assigned. Maybe the alleged perp in this case only stole IPv6 addresses (?) Regards, rfg
