Yes. My apologies to all. I made a bit of a mistake here. Note that I no longer use the term "hijacked" because it is too imprecise. These days I only use the terms "squatted" or "stolen" where the latter is a term that I reserve for cases where the relevant WHOIS record has actually been fiddled. Upon further review, this block (206.195.224.0/19) now appears to have been stolen, i.e. with the (assumed unwitting) participation of ARIN. As Job has noted, multiple aspects of the WHOIS record are most certainly non-conformant with common sense. I highlight these below. (I have attempted to call the new contact phone number and it is dead/disconnected.) It is my hope, of course, that the apparent illicit take-over of this block was a product of garden variety incompetence @ ARIN, rather than, you know, the alternative. It appears from ARIN WhoWas data that this takeover began on 2019-08-12 with additional fradulent changes to the WHOIS also on 2019-08-14, 2019-08-15, and lastly 2019-09-24, when the OriginAS was fiddled to its present state. ================================================================== [Source: whois://whois.arin.net 2020-01-27 04:18:39 UTC] NetRange: 206.195.224.0 - 206.195.255.255 CIDR: 206.195.224.0/19 NetName: THRIFT-NET-1 NetHandle: NET-206-195-224-0-1 Parent: NET206 (NET-206-0-0-0-0) NetType: Direct Assignment OriginAS: AS12679 <========================= Russia ????
