Will Cogent stop pestering the community with illicitly harvested
contact information? Will they switch to more nefarious tactics? Who
knows... Everyone likes having money, after-all.


But at least Cogent is not a security and/or anti-spam vendor (or is it?).
A security services company (iThreat) spammed all IANA gTLD contacts this
week, with the ever lasting excuse of "it's opt-out".
