Ugh, someone on my mail server's *shared* IPv6 /64 is misbehaving again and getting me listed in #SpamHaus by association. Might need to pick up shop from #Dreamhost finally. I keep putting it off because its fixed price cheap and moving is a hassle but so is a hosting config where you can't modify the size of the hard drive you created your instance with or get your own /56.

When it comes to domain abuse, phishing, and cybercrime, Spamhaus' Top Contributor🏅"Equalizer" doesn't just track threats - they neutralize them. They work tirelessly to:

✅ Shut down phishing networks
✅ Shut down ASNs
✅ Identify & report domain abuse at “large scale”
✅ Collaborate with law enforcement agencies

Over the last 30 days "Equalizer" has submitted 20,431 domains to Spamhaus. That's an increase of +2,595%! And we sincerely thank you for your efforts. 🙏

If you're in the cybersecurity trenches, join the Spamhaus Threat Intel Community as a contributor. Share insights, report cybercrimes and play your part to "equalize" (sorry, we couldn't resist) the battlefield.

You can learn more on how to submit malicious or suspicious raw source, IPs, domains, and URLs here 👉 submit.spamhaus.org

The more we collaborate as a community, the stronger we are. 💪 🌍

Thanks.

What angers me the most is that those complaints are so vague in their description. Here mine:

#Malware / #Botnet / #Phishing hosting server

#Spamhaus believes that the host at this IP address has been setup by and is operated by a threat actor for the sole purpose of hosting malware, phishing sites and/or botnet controllers.

What? How? Are you kidding? This server is running for about 2 years now and is only managed by me. An example or proof would be useful to know what I'm actually looking for.
