UCEPROTECT DNSBL possibly abusive practice and RIPEStat Blacklist entries widget
by Kristijonas Lukas Bukauskas 19 May '22

19 May '22

Hello, I noticed that RIPE NCC uses uceprotect-level1, uceprotect-level2 and uceprotect-level3 in RIPEStat Anti Abuse Blacklist Entries widget. There have been controversial positions about this blacklist recently: 1) https://success.trendmicro.com/solution/000236583-Emails-being-rejected-by-… [1] 2) https://blog.sucuri.net/2021/02/uceprotect-when-rbls-go-bad.html [2] UCEPROTECT blacklists the whole range of IP addresses, including the full IP range of some autonomous systems: UCEPROTECT states, '_Who is responsible for this listing? YOU ARE NOT! Your IP was NOT directly involved in abuse but has a bad neighborhood. Other customers within this range did not care about their security and got hacked, started spamming, or were even attacking others, while your provider has possibly not even noticed that there is a serious problem. We are sorry for you, but you have chosen a provider not acting fast enough on abusers'_) [http://www.uceprotect.net/en/rblcheck.php [3]]. It asks for a fee if some individual IP address wants to be whitelisted (http://www.whitelisted.org/), It abuses people who decide to challenge their blacklist by publishing conversations in their so-called _Cart00ney_ (http://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=8&s=0 [4]; http://www.uceprotect.org/cart00neys/index.html [5]). And the other type of threatening: http://www.uceprotect.org/ Does RIPE NCC have any position on this specific blacklist? Thank you!

New article on RIPE Labs: Artificial Intelligence and Policy-Making Developments
by Athina Fragkouli 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Dear all, I would like to announce a new RIPE Labs article "Artificial Intelligence and Policy-Making Developments – Council of Europe’s CAHAI" published today: https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/artificial-intelligence-and-policy-maki… <https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/artificial-intelligence-and-policy-maki…> As the first in a series of articles aimed at exploring how policy-making institutions are reacting to challenges posed by AI, I’ve written about how the Council of Europe seeks to examine the feasibility of a legal framework for the development, design and application of AI. As the series continues, our goal will be to raise awareness of these issues so that the technical community can get involved at the early stages of relevant discussions and provide appropriate input to policy makers. Thank you, Athina Fragkouli Chief Legal Officer RIPE NCC
