Hello, I've just had 2 emails saying that 2 of my software probes (numbers 1000305 & 1000137) have been transferred to LeaseWeb NOC. Both these probes (and another) live on LeaseWeb VPSs (one in NL, one in USA) but I haven't started or authorised a transfer. Before I go and shout at then, how could this have happened? Checking in 'My Atlas' it does indeed no longer show these as being my problems. Why would the good people at RIPE allow transfer of 2 of my probes without my approval? Yours, Paul.

incorrect: these two probes do indeed seem to be your problems at the moment - so the "My Atlas" portal is definitely right here. ;-> Back to seriousness: that's an interesting case - so I'd liek to second Paul's motion for clarification. Thanks & best, -C.
I meant to say that these are no longer my probes but I guess either applies 😉 They definitely do NOT show up when I check the portal. I've uploaded a screenshot to https://imgur.com/DmNfZPj and you'll note that DNS1 and UniFi (the software probes in question) do not show up. Thanks, Paul.

I moved these probes to a new LeaseWeb account at the specific request of one of your colleagues. I will email you privately to give you his contact details so you can take this up with him. He can then transfer them back to you if you both believe these should not have been included in the transferlist. Kind regards, Johan ter Beest RIPE Atlas Team
Yours,

Hi Johan, I don't have any colleagues in this regard - I am an individual, nor am I employed by LeaseWeb. This is 100% a mistake, I did NOT give LeaseWeb approval to cease my probes. They not contacted me about my probes. I've opened a ticket with them as I am thoroughly unimpressed with them, and now with RIPE. I feel I may as well close my account, if RIPE will willingly let probes be ceased then I do not feel inclined to run any. It's a shame, I ran 7 probes for the benefit of the wider community. Paul.

I have transferred the probes back to you and will send you some extra credits to make up for the mistake.

We do not normally transfer probes but LeaseWeb requested host changes on their anchors plus some probes. As I had to do the anchors, I figured I might as well do the probes too asI assumed they were the actual hosts of the probes... Lesson learned I guess, we won't do this anymore. Again, my sincere apologies and I hope that you will leave the probes connected Kind regards, Johan

I'm curious here: was no checking performed as to the probe owner's email address not being @leaseweb.com or whatever, but rather all probes on their AS were scooped up at once? Cheers, Alex
