DDoS-Guard To Forfeit Internet Space Occupied by Parler
Summary: LACNIC, the regional Internet registry for Latin America and the Caribbean, published a notice that it intends to revoke 8,192 IPv4 addresses from DDoS-Guard, including the address currently assigned to Parler[.]com, with revocation set for Feb. 24. The action follows a November complaint by researcher Ron Guilmette, who found that roughly 66 percent of the more than 11,000 addresses assigned to DDoS-Guard's two entities were issued to its Belize corporation, which he suspects was incorporated on paper to obtain regional address space.
What you should know: DDoS-Guard's CEO maintains the company has a legitimate Belize presence, but the registry's move shows that a single researcher's complaint can put 8,192 addresses - and the sites riding on them - on a revocation clock, and Guilmette notes DDoS-Guard could simply move Parler to another part of its network.
