[anti-abuse-wg] [policy-announce] 2017-02 Review Phase (Regular abuse-c Validation)

Well, let's be smart:

You can only click in those that belong to RIPE.

Look at the other way around:

When I submit abuse reports (which means an extra cost for me, even if the one that causes the problem is giving the business to you), sometimes I get an automated response email that ask me for clicking a link, or filling a report, and then getting a confirmation email and clicking a link again, or a combination of some of those ...

So, should I also avoid clicking the links and go to the courts to ask for the damages that your customer is creating to me?

Let's be fair, the cost and possible damages, of customers that abuse third party networks using your infrastructure, need to be covered by them (or you as the provider) not by the folks being attacked.

Or you will tell me that a court will tell me that the thief damaged my door because I keep it close, and I must pay for repairing the door, instead of the thief and those that cooperated with him in the attack?

Regards,
Jordi

    I have to agree with Wolfgang here ...  
    
    If any of our helpdesk engineers would click on a link or attachment in what we receive on the abuse-mailbox ... he/she would have to keep restoring the systems due to the massive number of malware that is received in it..  
    
    I still think that the best way to validate a current abuse-contact is during the ARC's ... 
    It wouldn't require any additional process nor additional contact moments from the RIPE NCC's point of view to the resource holders.
