I think I have received more e-mails from NANOG about WHOIS-derived SPAM in the past week than I have received actual WHOIS-derived SPAM in the past year. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "valdis kletnieks" <valdis.kletnieks () vt edu> To: "Rob McEwen" <rob () invaluement com> Cc: nanog () nanog org Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2018 8:14:14 AM Subject: Re: Is WHOIS going to go away?

SUGGESTION: Initially register with private registration - then change it to regular non-hidden registration a few weeks later or so.
That will work for about 2 weeks - until the people who currently run automated software looking for new registrations to spam fix their software to lurk until the new registration becomes non-hidden.
