Which info is that, exactly?  Your title at Integra Telecom?

Umm... well... yes.... I guess this is you, right?

So, are you THE Engineering Manager, or merely AN Engineering Manager
at Integra Telecom?  I'm guessing that it is a big enough outfit that
you probably have more than one.

(Sorry, but I can't help snickering a bit at your _prior_ employment.
As I feel sure you are already painfully aware, having that on your
resume does not exactly inspire a whole lotta confidence in the notion
that you are a straight shooter.  The words ``cover up'' are the ones
that come most immediately to mind.)

No thanks.  I didn't ask for "clarification" of your "process" (whatever
the hell THAT might mean), and frankly it doesn't interest me.  Your
process is... well... your process.   Whatever it may be, it belongs to
you and you should probably keep it to yourself.  (Who knows?  Since
business processes are now patentable, maybe someday you can get a
patent on it!)

I did however ask for the name of the crook whose name was on the check
that paid for the hijacked space routing.  Is that something you can
respond to, or no?  If not, why not?

Was Integra Telecom _actually_ defrauded?  If so, who defrauded you?

Did your customer, Circle Internet defraud you?  If you are claining that
THEY are also an innocent party in this, then who defrauded them?  Whose
name was on the check that THEY cashed?

It really is a rather simple question, and doesn't require an elaborate,
convoluted, or lengthy digression into the details of your "process".

Ya know, maybe it's just me, but it would seem to me that that if either
you or your customer, Circle Internet, were in fact defrauded in this case,
that both of you would be altogether ready, willing, and indeed eager to
``out'' the actual crooked perpetrator... you know... instead of, like,
hiding the perp's identity and thus helping him to cover his tracks.
But I guess that's just me.  (When somebody cheats _me_, I am not myself
in the habit of then going out of my way to protect him.)

Don't misunderstand me.  If your company was in fact dedrauded, then allow
me to express my sincere condolences for your loss.  Or would it be more
accurate to say your gain?  You DID cash the check right?  I mean your
company does NOT have a policy of granting everybody three months of free
service, right?

>Please just reply to me off-list.

No thanks.

As Jodie Foster said in the movie Contact, ``This isn't a person to person
call.''

Crooks, hijacking, and mass spamming affect everybody on the whole Internet.

I didn't ask for the name of the crook who signed the check just for my
private or personal edification.  Other ISPs should know who they need
to be on the lookout for.

I can assure you that just because YOU have now stopped routing space for
this crook, that doesn't mean that he's going to just fold up his tent and
slink quietly away into oblivion.  In fact I already have evidence in hand
that he's still got both IP space and snowshoe spamming domains located
elsewhere (including elsewhere on Circle Internet, see below) that he is
continuing to use, even as we speak.

On the other hand, of course, if Integra and/or Circle Internet were in
fact ``in on the game'' from the get-go, then in that case I could well
and truly understand why both of your companies might now be reluctant
to give up your cohort.

rfg


P.S.  I gather that nobody at your place even so much as raised an eyebrow
when tiny little Circle Internet, a company whose biggest _legitimate_ IP
block prior to this incident was a mere /21, suddenly showed up on your
doorstep asking to have an entire fresh new /16, belonging to an major,
internationally known chemical company routed for them, correct?

P.P.S.  OK, so you are reluctant to give up the actual hijacker.  So let's
just skip that for now.  Instead how about if you just tell us who owns
the followng domain names which are all getting DNS from Circle Internet
IP space, even as we speak.  And no, I _do not_ want you to just regurgitate
the fradulent bull puckey that's present within the relevant WHOIS records.

(To paraphrase Red Riding Hood "My my grandma!  What a lot of domains you
have!"  Odd that all of them were created so recently, and that none of
them seem even have associated web sites.  But again, I'm sure that I'm
the only one in the Universe who finds any of that odd.  Yea.)
