Confirmed. It appears that AFRINIC returned that /14 to its free pool.
Before it was revoked, the whois for this /14 was: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
Confirmed. Please note however that contrary to all rumors, Edison, New Jersey is -not- actually located in "ZA" (South Africa).
I believe this /14 was under control from our big friend from Israel...
No. This block -somehow- made its way... for some several years anyway... directly into the hands of a certain Mr. Chad Abizeid, proprietor of LogicWeb, in New Jersey, most specifically the one that's located in in the U.S.. There's no involvement of any Israeli personages with this specific block as far as I can determine.
This is a BOGON, unallocated space.
Yes. *Now* it is.
I would appreciate if any network that is on that list and on this mailing list, would stop announcing parts of this hijacked /14.
That would be Good, yes.
I reached out to RADB to remove all the radb entries concerning this /14, however after 72 hours they still haven't.
In my experience, neither accuracy nor security are among RADB's strong suits.
How is it possible that they can't just delete all entries?
Other things just take priority sometimes, you know. Have you never heard of Tetris?
It is UNALLOCATED SPACE, it shouldn't be routed, it shouldn't have radb.
Well, yea. But also, we in these United States should not have had to live with four full years of totally unprecedented social lunacy, the likes of which none of us have ever before known in our entire lives. But we have fixed that now. Sometimes you just have to be patient. These things take time. Regards, rfg
