<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Does ARIN have any kind of policy for recommendations to be made to it's members for dealing with this kind of accused abuse?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does ARIN recommend that other organizations block incomming traffic from these "hijacked" IP blocks? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am curious to what people's opinion is on this matter. Should the ARIN community try to block incoming traffic from organizations that engage in this pracrice as a means to defer people from attempting this kind of IP takeover?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for my company, we take a fairly hard line on what IP blocks we allow inbound and therefore we block traffic from Russia, China, etc. because we have deemed our employees do not need to surf those sites while working. I have been debating since I read about the Media Breakaway story if for security reasons we should block their IP block as well. If they are willing to engage in this kind of practice, what else are they willing to do?</FONT></DIV>
