Teksavvy users?

[Tyler Aviss]

I sent them this tidbit from ARIN, and it looks like they're going to
be fixing it up to have their contact info now.

----

4.2.3.7.6. Residential Customer Privacy

To maintain the privacy of their residential customers, an
organization with downstream residential customers may substitute that
organization's name for the customer's name, e.g. 'Private Customer -
XYZ Network', and the customer's street address may read 'Private
Residence'. Each private downstream residential reassignment must have
accurate upstream Abuse and Technical POCs visible on the WHOIS record
for that block.

----

If my co-worker hadn't been done a WHOIS against an "odd IP" in our
SSH logs (IP happened to be mine), I probably wouldn't have noticed
this myself. Anyone else with a reserved netblock might want to make
sure their personal info isn't in the rwhois (just "WHOIS" your IP in
'nix), unless of course you like junkmail and/or possible visits from
odd internet denizens :-)
