Your network's reputation plays a big role in your #domainreputation. Being hosted at a provider with a good reputation, supported by a robust compliance team can make a HUGE difference to keeping your domain in good standing ✨

Today a /16 network (65536 IP addresses) is a VERY valuable asset worth around $3m💰! Here we have seven of them announced on the Internet by unallocated ASNs - it is almost unbelievable: 😱
144.74.0.0/16 AS25978 [rush.edu, US]
146.131.0.0/16 AS23448 [epcor.com, CA]
152.5.0.0/16 AS11540 [rti.org, US]
159.113.0.0/16 AS16860 [wipro.com, IN ... even the IPs are unallocated!]
162.121.0.0/16 AS19708 [stlukeshealth.org, US]
179.18.0.0/16 AS22698 [wom.co, CO]
197.12.0.0/16 AS37703 [atlax.com, TN]
Using unallocated ASNs is a common cybercriminals trick. To prevent network reputation degradation, @arin @Rush University Medical Center @epcor @RTI International @wipro @ST. Luke's Health System @WOM Colombia @Atlax Web Solutions @lacnic @afrinic we strongly recommend fixing this 🙏!
