Matt,
Don't believe everything you read. I have unfortunately been a target over the years
because I rented machines to Esthost. But the stories made up are way out there.
It's all very easy a dedicated server / customer relationship - nothing more.
Never did I ignore anymore from the abuse community. Go ahead and find me
a IP address that did any spam or anything. You won't find it, I can't remember
the last time I got any Spamcop complaints. Not even going to mention Spamhaus
because we all know there abuse.
"We asked a handful of Intercage's most vocal critics if they sent take
down requests to Kacperski. None said yes. "In his defense, what may
have finally happened is that malware researchers stopped bothering to
report" abusive sites," Eckelberry says."
None said YES! That pretty much sums it all up. Maybe I could of reached out
more, I guess that was my mistake. But it surely is impossible to deal with if
you have to deal with people like John Reid.
Thanks!

Considering the years of abuse, DNSBL listings, ROKSO listings, further abuse, and silence at the abuse switch, I _CERTAINLY_ would not send Atrivo abuse reports, I would send them to the upstreams instead. Considering the almost 40 page white paper produced last month on the abuse from Atrivo, for me to change this practice, I would require:
* a rapid, and verifiable response from Atrivo here over some period of time exceeding several months, and continuing thereafter,
* the clearing of SBL/ROKSO records, and
* a general reduction of abuse eminating from Atrivo.

Greetings,
I can further vouch for this... an unusually large amount of botnets
reported to DroneBL have command and control servers on Atrivo's
network.
With the amount of listings and reports I get, it is obvious that Atrivo
does not care about the abuse@ inbox... which is unfortunate.

I don't have to believe what I read. I did the research, and I helped
write the reports. Have to say I'm VERY proud of contributing to getting
you offline.
It's not just estdomains. In fact very little of them is related to you.
It's the botnet controllers, spam, phishing sites, etc. If you think
those things trivial then you need to remain offline.

You ignored MY abuse complaints. You ignored MY emails to cooperate in
getting your net cleaned up. I have HUNDREDS of malware samples using
your nets as CnC just in the last few months! So rather than wasting my
time emailing your abuse blackhole I helped write a report about you.
Time well spent I think.

They didn't ask me. I sent plenty. And if you read his full comments I'm
sure he goes on to say "because they were tired of having their time
wasted by you ignoring them for YEARS!"
But this thread isn't what nanog is for. We should end this here, until
Emil finds someone else willing to peer his crap. Then we can decide how
to get that handled.
Matt
