Our organization has also received cold contact emails from this company, and their unsubscribe link doesn’t appear to have slowed them down.

They now hit my junk folder.

Definitely have received this same spam multiple times and so have a few others I know. It's ridiculous that they resort to scraping public lists and DBs to try and achieve what they're attempting to do.

Is anyone else receiving spam from this organization? Based on the contents of the cold solicitations they are sending us, and the addresses being sent to, they have scraped ARIN WHOIS data for noc and abuse POC contact info and recent ipv4 block transfers.

It's trivially easy to block their entire domain at the mail server level, of course...

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. If you are not expecting this message contact the sender directly via phone/text to verify.
