Talk:APNIC

message: Yes, lots of spam comes out of Asia. However, this article definitely takes an opinionated slant and does not cite sources to back up its statements, some of which are dubious (for example: ARIN, RIPE and LACNIC all have similar FAQ items about spam, which state that the they have no power to investigate or punish spammers and that the proper course of action is to contact the ISP whose user is spamming or to involve local law enforcement if applicable; hence an 'abuse' address at the RIR is demonstrably a useless technique for fighting spam. AfriNIC's spam info page is currently throwing a 404 so I can't check, but I'd be surprised to find any substantially different info there).
Any objections to seeing this cleaned up a bit? Ubernostrum 09:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: I have an older system, and it is getting slower and harder to use with Windows "Live" despite a firewall and adaware. I notice a lot of scanning of my ports by APNIC. I set up a repeating ping, and they attack my ports. I have no idea what they can do, but I just want to be left in peace. I suspect Earthlink uses them. I get phone calls constantly from Earthlink which I have never signed with, but which bought an IP service I used to use. They want to bill me, apparently, even though I left the service they bought, before my paid up anniversary date. What can you do to stop these bums?
:What?! APNIC is scanning your IP Ports? Are you Sure? Email me at apnic AT bauani DOT org with your details report. I think you are missing something to report and identifying the attack as 'APNIC'. APNIC has a lot of job to do righter then scan your ports. Thanks Bauani (talk) 09:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: He/She's probably being scanned by an IP from the Asia Pacific region, that APNIC has allocated to an ISP in the region, who has allocated it to a subscriber.  Then when doing a whois search on the IP with a search powered by ARIN it comes up that the IP belongs to APNIC.  Lots of search engines operate this way, expecting you to then go and use a search engine powered by the correct regional internet registry. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_IP_database for a list.  or just do the search for this offending IP on the page http://wq.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl and remember that this will be the ISP of the offender. Then remember that most port scan attacks on people are done by viruses that are looking to spread from an already infected source. 203.202.133.199 (talk) 23:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
