[members-discuss] Cogent uses RIPE DB for spam

13 Jun 2014

      Hi Colleagues,

First of all, happy Friday 13 =)

Cogent uses RIPE DB for phone spam. My colleague just received a phone call from +31204621445 with IP Transit offer. Colleague's phone number is published as admin-c in RIPE DB only.

For me it's very bad practice for same company like Cogent to use RIPE DB for spamming. Did anybody receive same calls/emails based on RIPE DB info?

Thanks.
