Sources of Badness – Still Trade LTD

Sources of Badness – UATelecom

The next source of badness I’ll cover is UATelecom (AS44997). With a /22, this host is much smaller than LeaseWeb. A Swiss blogger also had a run in with this host which you can read about here (written in German)

Sources of Badness – LeaseWeb

**Edit 2**
I’d like to thank LeaseWeb for taking the time to respond to this post. It’s great to hear that they take action quickly once informed of abuse. I found it surprising that they would receive reports of malware and other nefarious activity but with no substantiating evidence. The “fire and forget” mentality of notifying [...]
