RE: Scans from proxyprotector.com

["Mark Ng" <laptopalias1-mark () informationintelligence net>]

Hi,

After reading their site (www.proxyprotector.com) , it appears that this is
to do with connections to IRC servers, They don't claim to be scanning the
whole Internet - are these scans against hosts that you use IRC from ?

I'm seeing many proxy scans from 64.201.104.2,
for.information.see.proxyprotector.com.  I did not request the scans,
and the link on his page is broken.  All emails to common addresses at
the domain are bouncing user unknown.  Is this dude legit, or just
pretending to be trying to help prevent proxy abuse?
