Re: Myspace contact needed
I use a VPN from Beijing, where I reside. It's pretty common for myspace to blacklist any IP addresses that they believe belong to crawlers, linkbots, VPN services, etc. This appears to be an automated process. I've never had luck getting any of my VPN IPs unblocked. Good luck getting in touch with anyone there, the company was just sold to a consortium of celebrities after massive News Corp. layoffs and it's left with walking zombies. I'd be surprised if anyone competent is still left... -TProphet On 7/12/2011 9:49 PM, Walter Keen wrote:

I'm looking for a Myspace contact, We're an ISP (AS20394) and all of our users are getting a 302 redirect to google after contacting a myspace server. If there is an appropriate contact on this list, or someone who can forward this to such a contact, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't have this issue from other ISP connections(such as my home connection), but have not heard back from the website support portal as of yet.

You're more likely to get a response if you give some indication of what the issue is; for example, saying "I'm looking for a MySpace contact because there is an attack coming from their servers that appears to indicate they may have been compromised" will likely get you a faster reaction from the security people. Or, if it's a network issue, saying "I'm looking for a MySpace network contact because it appears they are announcing the following blocks which really belong to me, which is causing reachability issues" will more likely get you a reaction from an appropriate network person.
Without an indication of the nature of the problem, I think you'll find most people on the list tend to ignore generic requests like this.
Thanks!

I finally made contact using the information at http://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/NOC11562-ARIN.html . We were blocked for spamming (but there seemed to be some confusion, as we have 69.10.192.0/19, and they asked if we had 69.10.0.0/16. Makes me wonder if they lookup the RIR allocated blocks before blocking, or assume a /16 Walter Keen Network Engineer Rainier Connect (P) 360-832-4024 (C) 253-302-0194 On 07/12/2011 08:50 AM, TProphet wrote:
