Cogent have done similar naughty things before, for example they got themselves banned from PeeringDB for mining contact info (http://www.peeringdb.com/view.php?asn=174). Edward Dore Freethought Internet On 13 Jun 2014, at 13:12, Andrei Kushnireuski <ipas.master@gmail.com> wrote:
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.
