Maybe a silly idea, but shouldn't the sale of a block of addresses (RIR ownership change) trigger a removal of that block from all reputation list databases?
Hi Chuck, You're talking about 50+ database operators half of which don't identify their principals and offer no way contact staff or interact with them except, sometimes, through narrowly defined reporting tools. Google is a prime example of the problem. They write great algorithms but their confidence in those algorithms far exceeds their greatness. The current catastrophic mess with Recaptcha should offer a cautionary tale for all.
If I buy a car from a police auction, I'm fairly sure the FBI doesn't start tailing me, because the car was once used for less than legal purposes.
You would think so, but I have a friend who is visited by police every few months because the prior owner of his house is a petty criminal still committing crimes and their database shows the house as his last known residence.
