Investigation Results

ARIN received a total of 13 fraud reports during the first quarter of 2017.

Three reports concerned hijacking of IPv4 blocks. In two cases, we reviewed and found no unauthorized changes made to ARIN records. We advised the reporter to contact the ISPs regarding the unauthorized routing and RIPE regarding an unauthorized route object. The investigation of the third report is ongoing.

One report concerned IPv4 blocks obtained fraudulently. This investigation is ongoing.

Nine fraud reports received during this quarter were reports of incidents related to phishing, spam, identity theft, etc. ARIN did not investigate any of these reports because they are outside the scope of ARIN’s mission.
