"Internet registry RIPE NCC turned a blind eye to cybercrime, and Russian police corruption helped the perpetrators get away with it, according to the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency"
Well, duh. RIPE - and all other RIRs, as far as I can tell - has never even tried to do anything about abuse.
This could get interesting. The RIR's have never (to my understanding) ever tried to validate the business plans of those who want number resources and insure that they were "legal".
Nor should they, I think, per se. It's when they involve abuse of their assigned resources that the RIR has to step up and enforce the responsibility that goes with authority. Independent of whether that abuse happens to be legal, or not, in any jurisdiction. Or, of course, not do so, and watch the abuses grow until they kill the goose that's laying such golden eggs, instead of spending a few eggs to ensure the goose's long-term survival. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
