Hi Piotr, The Abuse-Contact-Finder in RIPEstat considers aut-num objects as well. The article you referenced describes an out-dated version of the Abuse-Contact-Finder which is not part of RIPEstat. That RIPEstat considers aut-num objects could have been seen as a benefit especially in the pre abuse-c era. But we understood that this fishing for abuse contacts in the RIPE DB does not always deliver high-quality results. This was, by the way, the reason we came up with the star rating. I hope that as soon as we have the abuse-c rolled out completely this will not matter anymore.
