Dear Michele, Thanks for your mail. I am glad you find this tool useful. 3 stars means we found an abuse email address for the resource/prefix you are looking for. But the address was not listed in an abuse-mailbox attribute (that would show 4 stars), but somewhere else, for instance in the remarks field. More details about the ratings are explained in the article on RIPE Labs (and also under 'info the widget itself). I hope this answers your question. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC On 21/2/13 12:42 AM, Michele Neylon :: Blacknight wrote:

Handy tool

Question - how do you arrive at the rating? Checking some of our IPs we get 3 out of 4 stars, so I'm curious why :)

Regards

Dear colleagues,

We implemented a new widget in RIPEstat that allows you to find abuse contact information registered in the RIPE Database. Please find more information on RIPE Labs:
