Greetings! Let me introduce myself - I as a part of a support team represent NOC Akrino, the team responsible of the technical use of AKRINO Networks, AS44571 (91.202.61.0/21). It's a service network for DDoS-mitigation purposes, using a combination of hardware and self-developed software which allow us to efficiently filter mostly any kind of malicious traffic providing the white traffic to the client's server. Among our clients there are some e-businesses, e-shops, e-mass media, etc. with critical losses in case of possible DDoS-attacks. I'd apply in case it's necessary, the recommendations of our foreign resellers. Anyway we have never declared ourselves as an abuse-resistant service provider - every abuse sent to service email "noc.akrino () gmail com" is being investigated and responded: we can block the exact URLS or even block completely the traffic redirection to the client in case of his abusive network behavior. We're completely shocked by the declaration that the RBN moved to our AS. We have no affiliation to RBN, the personal data is hidden and can be provided by request just because of our members' personal security - in rare cases we even had those risks (just because our filtration works cyber criminals often search for other ways of influence upon us, including coercion). In fact there are some problem clients like some adult sites whose advertising programs could be popular with the spammers, but our policy demands normal network behavior and in case of the abuse - their advert partner is blocked. So, if you have any evidence of abusive network behavior of our clients you should send it directly to noc.akrino () gmail com and we'll respond. If there were any unsolved cases - we'll close them. Please, excuse us if in somehow Akrino Networks were the source of problems for you - we'll do our best to prevent it in the future. And I'll sincerely ask *Jeffrey Lyon *as a representative of Blacklotus team to clarify his accusations: aren't they connected with the fact that many of your DDoS-protected clients have chosen our reseller Blockdos (blockdos.net) just because our pricing doesn't depend on the amount of attack? As far as I understand it's a question of about $20k/month. Please, tell me if I'm not right. Thank you. Kanak Akrino Abuse Team
