Teleglobe appears to be spam-source zombie network?
We started getting a flood of autobot spam to our listed abuse mailbox about an hour ago out of Teleglobe. Trying to find someone to shut this down has found that 1. Teleglobe has no listed abuse contacts for any of their netblocks 2. The few of their records which have listed e-mail addresses all bounce 3. All listed phone numbers on any netblocks we can find are invalid Any chance that RIPE is more strigent than ARIN and would pull their netblocks until they fix this stuff? -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness

It's possible that in the shuffle of company renaming/rebranding/rejiggering-of-people they lost this bit in the shuffle. There's at least one TATA eng person on-list though who may be able to get you a status on the situation. -Chris

while this is not me you were refering to, i contacted privately Jo on this matter - a customer, probably upset, decided to fire-up a batch of misguided spam reports while there is certainly outdated abuse info for some of our blocks, in this particular case the subnet that was allocated to us has up-to-date mail+phone info and thanks to some posters further up the thread: the abuse mailbox is indeed cabuse@tatacommunications.com

I'd like to note for anyone else who might make similar mistakes -- putting valid contact info only in the top level allocation and not tied to your organization means that nobody can find it, unless they are bored and feel like trying the IP with /25, /24, /23, /22 ... etc until they find your working contact info. Do it right, tie the abuse contact to the organization. It will show up on *all* allocations. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness

Is it just me, or isn't keeping valid contact information on your netblocks like, a serious affair? Something you should get around to within a few hours, nevermind a few months since the changes? I mean seriously. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness

Depends on if you take it seriously to begin with, as well as if the next person after you leave takes it seriously. I left an org over a year and a half ago, and the abuse/tech contact info for the netblocks has yet to be updated. YMMV. -brandon

That's not my arguement ;( the thing I noticed while at a telco is that sometimes they don't care about the intertubes :( the corporate masters have other priorities. It sucks, I was thinking that the teleglobe/vsnl/tata folks may have gotten bitten by a similar event. (and yes, having as up-to-date info as possible is important for your customers and your peers) -Chris
