Hi all My spamtraps are being hit by chinese spam advertizing the URL on the shortening service ppt.cc for several day now, with an incredible rate!
Source is obviously a botnet as source IP's are spread around the globe. So it's time to look into the issue and send some personal email to the abuse desk of the operator of this shortening service and his hoster to find out what they do about it and how they could help stop the abuse. In the WOT comments, I also found that they didn't remove redirection to malicious sites that were reported nearly two years ago. One more reason to get in contact with them and see what they think about helping the internet community by stopping such abuse. The service is hosted by taiwan based ISP hinet.net So let's find the appropriate abuse contact. inetnum: 125.224.0.0 - 125.231.255.255 netname: HINET-NET descr: Data Communication Business Group, descr: Chunghwa Telecom Co.,Ltd. descr: No.21, Sec.1, Xinyi Rd., Taipei City descr: 10048, Taiwan country: TW admin-c: HN27-AP tech-c: HN27-AP mnt-by: MAINT-TW-TWNIC mnt-irt: IRT-TWNIC-AP Good, they have published an IRT contact handle: irt: IRT-TWNIC-AP address: Taipei, Taiwan, 100 e-mail: hostmas...@twnic.net.tw abuse-mailbox: hostmas...@twnic.net.tw admin-c: TWA2-AP tech-c: TWA2-AP auth: # Filtered remarks: Please note that TWNIC is not an ISP and is not empowered remarks: to investigate complaints of network abuse. What? Did I get that right? Their IRT Contact, responsible for abuse complaints has a comment that they do not investigate abuse complaints? No wonder abuse from their network never ceases... I suppose no-one else had any success with contacting them about any abuse case.
