[LN20071216.155945] RE: ABUSE REPORT: 148.208.199.2 - SSH brute force attempts

December 16th, 2007

You have contacted LACNIC due to some abuse activity (spam, hacking, etc), from an IP address allocated or assigned by LACNIC.

 

LACNIC is an RIR (Regional Internet Registry) for Latin America and the Caribbean region. What that means is that LACNIC is responsible for the IP address space and ASN allocation/assignment in this region.

 

As mentioned, the IP address in question was allocated by LACNIC to some other organization or ISP in the region. So the abuse activity originated in that organization’s network, not in LACNIC.

You should query our whois database to get information about the source of this abuse activity and the appropriate network contact.

LACNIC’s whois is available at: http://lacnic.net/cgi-bin/lacnic/whois  or via the command line: whois -h whois.lacnic.net [IP ADDRESS]

 

Important Note:

———————————————————————-

Addresses allocated to “Comite Gestor da Internet no Brasil” are those allocated to the Brazilian NIR (Registro BR), and in this case you might want to query their Whois database: http://registro.br/cgi-bin/nicbr/whois or whois -h whois.nic.br [IP ADDRESS]

———————————————————————

Please note that LACNIC has no authority to investigate spam, hacking or any other kind of network abuse activity committed by other organizations. Nor can we punish other organizations’ users.
