Dear REACH admins,
From the email address in Merit’s IRR Directory [Reference: http://www.irr.net/docs/list.html#REACH ], I contacted you at dbadmin@telstraglobal.net regarding taking-down a fake IRR entry of my prefix [original email attached below], but got the response from Gmail saying that it cannot contact your email server.
Please kindly consider my request. Best Regards, Pirawat. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Pirawat WATANAPONGSE <pirawat.w@ku.th> Date: Thu, May 13, 2021 at 3:24 PM Subject: Request: fake IRR entry take-down To: <dbadmin@telstraglobal.net> To whom it may concern, We---at Kasetsart University, Thailand [Reference: https://rdap-web.apnic.net/autnum/AS9411]---are in the process of strengthening our routing security against (BGP) Route Hijacking. We have already registered all of our prefixes with the APNIC RPKI Trust Anchor. We present the following URL as an authentication of prefixes ‘ownership’. [Reference: https://rpki.cloudflare.com/?view=explorer&validateRoute=9411_&asn=9411&extendedMode=false ] However, your database is currently announcing 1 fake entry incorrectly listing AS4750 as the origin of *our* 158.108.0.0/16 netblock. [Reference: https://bgp.he.net/net/158.108.0.0/16#_irr] That fake entry represents a security threat to our network. Any AS that implements IRR-Only Route Filtering will obviously trust your database and thus will divert our traffic somewhere else. We therefore humbly request that you take down that fake entry. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me using the addresses in the signature section. Thank you in advance for your help.
