were not directly affected, or you did not contact us, you should not expect timely information. A post was made to nanog by the correct people once there was a solution and everything was over, and yet this thread STILL goes on. It makes me wonder if people want answers or something to complain about.
It's not over till it's over. And, AFAIK, it was not over when Exodus claimed it was. In fact, do we know as a fact that it's over now? I've been routing 209.67.50.0/24 to where it belongs (Null0), so if any access attempts were made, I wouldn't have noticed... sorry to sound in the dark here.
Of course, I don't see anyone else who is posting here as an owner of one of the other blocks, so I guess Exodus is ahead in that line.
