[db-wg] Fwd: [anti-abuse-wg] 196.52.0.0/14 revoked, cleanup efforts needed

196.52.0.0/14 seems to have been revoked by afrinic:

> $ whois -h whois.afrinic.net " --list-versions 196.52.0.0/14" | grep -i 
delete
> % This object was deleted on 2021-01-16 05:56
> $

Regarding cleanup of route: objects for this this (and other) 
unregistered address space in the ripe irrdb, can this just be done? Or 
is it necessary to create a policy to ask the NCC to do it?

Hi,

196.52.0.0/14 <http://196.52.0.0/14> was recently revoked.
Before it was revoked, the whois for this /14 was:

     inetnum:        196.52.0.0 - 196.55.255.255
     netname:        LogicWeb-Inc
     descr:          LogicWeb Inc.
     descr:          3003 Woodbridge Ave
     descr:          Edison, NJ 08837
     country:        ZA

     remarks:        ============REMARK===================

However, now, this /14 has been revoked by AFRINIC. Do a whois on it and 
you will see, it's unallocated.
I believe this /14 was under control from our big friend from Israel, 
but I don't remember.
This does not matter however.
But, sadly there are about 367 ip ranges being announced from this /14
https://pastebin.com/raw/MHaW3nPe
  From about 71 unique ASN's
This is a BOGON, unallocated space.
I would appreciate if any network that is on that list and on this 
mailing list, would stop announcing parts of this hijacked /14.
I reached out to  RADB to remove all the radb entries concerning this 
/14, however after 72 hours they still haven't.

     This is not an ignored ticket, we have escalated internally with our
     RADb admins and they are looking into it. I will let them know that
     you are looking for a update and we will provide it as soon as 
possible.

How is it possible that they can't just delete all entries? It is 
UNALLOCATED SPACE, it shouldn't be routed, it shouldn't have radb.

I have also tried to post about this massive source of BOGONS on the 
nanog mailing list, however, they rejected my posts.
Most likely because it possibly concerns "that one guy from Israel", 
however the nanog moderators refused to comment while continuing to 
reject my posts.
Their self-censorship is very destructive and harmful. I hope that if 
this list is moderated, I will not have any trouble posting about this 
issue.

Greetings,
Ostap.
