Spammers Hijacking IP Space
Original post provide by Slashdot: ITRon Guilmette writes “As reported in the Washington Post’s Security Fix blog, a substantial hunk of IP address space has apparently been taken over by notorious mass e-mailing company Media Breakaway, LLC, formerly known as OptInRealBig, via means that are at best questionable. The block in question is 134.17.0.0/16, which I documented in depth in an independent investigation. (Apparently, the President of Media Breakaway has now admitted to the Washington Post that his company has been occupying and using the 134.17.0.0/16 block and that front company JKS Media, which provides routing to the block, is actually owned by Media Breakaway.) Remarkably, the president of Media Breakaway, who happens to be an attorney, is trying to defend his company’s apparent snatching of this block based upon his own rather novel legal theory that ARIN doesn’t have jurisdiction over any IP address space that was handed out before ARIN was formed, in 1997.”
