It's Friday evening (in North America) so you know what to expect
This evening it appeared that AS 9929 (China Netcom Corporation) had started to BGP announce the netblock "HCV": 152.147.0.0/16 That netblock is assigned by ARIN to OrgName: Housing and Construction Victoria OrgID: HCV Address: GPO Box 1670N Address: Melbourne, Victoria 3001 Country: AU NetRange: 152.147.0.0 - 152.147.255.255 CIDR: 152.147.0.0/16 NetName: HOUSINGVIC NetHandle: NET-152-147-0-0-1 Parent: NET-152-0-0-0-0 NetType: Direct Assignment RegDate: 1991-08-23 Updated: 1991-08-23 TechHandle: TL152-ARIN TechName: Lewis, Terry TechPhone: +61 3 669 1028 Housing and Construction Victoria are most certainly not in China. Given the timing, the intention here hardly needs spelling out. Roland Verlander, who lives in Australia, very helpfully tells me: "The contact information is outdated, so I unfortunately cannot attempt to contact the original owner. I searched AUNIC for POCs with the name Terry Lewis but I only found other people named Terry Lewis. APNIC has no results on Terry Lewis." "The phone number isn't valid, all phone #s in Oz were changed to 8 digits a few years ago (that one's 7 digits) and old 7 digit numbers don't work anymore; +61 3 669 1028 would have been converted to either +61 3 8669 1028 or +61 3 9669 1028." (I checked - neither of those possibilities is a working number) "No entry in the phone book (white pages) for the name Terry Lewis. The organisation is not legally registered and I can't find a website for it, so I guess it no longer exists" From: http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/as-report?as=9929 Upstream Adjacent AS list for AS9929: AS4637 REACH Reach Network Border AS AS1 GNTY-1 Genuity AS7018 ATT-INTERNET4 AT&T WorldNet Services AS2516 KDDI KDDI CORPORATION AS3549 GBLX Global Crossing AS3356 LEVEL3 Level 3 Communications, LLC AS1239 SPRINTLINK Sprint AS3561 CWUSA Cable & Wireless USA AS701 ALTERNET-AS UUNET Technologies, Inc.

I could be mistaken but I believe Sprint has already squashed this advertisement? route-server>sho ip bgp 152.147.0.0/16 longer | inc 147. * 152.147.0.0/17 12.123.41.250 0 7018 1239 i * 152.147.0.0 12.123.21.243 0 7018 1239 9929 ? * 152.147.128.0/17 12.123.199.239 0 7018 1239 i (they are advertising /17 smaller routes to gobble up the badness) On Sat, 3 May 2003, Richard Cox wrote:

The address "GPO BOx 1670N" is associated with Department of Planning annd Development with phone# being very close. Here is the info: DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT Myer House, 250 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne 3000 (GPO Box 1670N, Melbourne 3001) Phone: (03) 9669 1100 Fax: (03) 9669 1005 Secretary of the Department Mr Barry Nicholls Ph: (03) 9669 1100; Fax: (03) 9663 1670 Executive Assistant: Ms Julie Kyriakou, Phone: (03) 9669 1864 However I do not think based on looking at www.vic.gov.au that this department is still operating, so 2nd best guess would be Department of Human Services in Victoria, Australia, (they have subunit called "office of housing"). Their domain is dhs.vic.gov.au and you can lookup technical contact info in whois on this ("whois -h whois.aunic.net dhs.gov.au") and also see http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/contact.htm On Sat, 3 May 2003, Richard Cox wrote:
