Hi,
196.52.0.0/14 was recently revoked.
Before it was revoked, the whois for this /14 was:
inetnum: 196.52.0.0 - 196.55.255.255
netname: LogicWeb-Inc
descr: LogicWeb Inc.
descr: 3003 Woodbridge Ave
descr: Edison, NJ 08837
country: ZA

remarks: ============REMARK===================
However, now, this /14 has been revoked by AFRINIC. Do a whois on
it and you will see, it's unallocated.
I believe this /14 was under control from our big friend from
Israel, but I don't remember.
This does not matter however.
But, sadly there are about 367 ip ranges being announced from this
/14
https://pastebin.com/raw/MHaW3nPeFrom about 71 unique ASN's
This is a BOGON, unallocated space.
I would appreciate if any network that is on that list and on this
mailing list, would stop announcing parts of this hijacked /14.
I reached out to RADB to remove all the radb entries concerning this /14, however after 72 hours they still haven't. I have also tried to post about this massive source of BOGONS on the nanog mailing list, however, they rejected my posts.
Most likely because it possibly concerns "that one guy from Israel", however the nanog moderators refused to comment while continuing to reject my posts.
Their self-censorship is very destructive and harmful. I hope that if this list is moderated, I will not have any trouble posting about this issue.
Greetings,
Ostap.
