Rogue Registrars’ Demise Migrates Miscreant Clients
More News Surfaces of Rogue Registrar Customer Shuffling
McAfee’s AvertLabs’ blogger Francois Paget comments on the Shadowserver reports of the apparent demise of rogue registrar RBN and the apparent customer migration of that rogue host to another miscreant registrar, this time monikered AbdAllah. Not surprising…
From the post: “One thing is sure, each time a report discloses a lax ISP, many unscrupulous customers looking for discretion, cover or camouflage, are disrupted. As I said before, we have seen some of them moving to AbdAllah or Atrivo. I should not be surprised if they started searching for a new refuge! All the more probable that bad advertising arrived to the ears of many attentive backbone providers bring about Atrivo to lose peering from all sides. At least it is something!”
