[AusNOG] Hijacked Prefix

[daniel at glovine.com.au]

TPG Said because we are not the advertiser we can not do a thing.  even tho
Metwide are advertising this prefix under their own ASN not our customers,

 

MetWide contact is not answering his phone nor have they responded to any
other emails thus far

Surely advertising a range you don't own in a bill dispute is not the right
way to do this - wouldn't this be similar to advertising a Bogon?

Daniel:

What was TPG's response? Did you supply a letter on official letterhead
revoking the initial LoA?
What response does Metwide give when you contact their main support number?

Daniel,

 

There may be a handful of reasons that this is occurring, such as your
client owing the old provider money etc which is likely the case.  This is a
legal issue between the IP Address owner and TCR Holdings, you should leave
it up to them.

Hi Guys

 

I need a bit of assistance here,

 

One of our customers has a prefix 203.55.215.0/24 which is a /24 of
203.55.214.0/23,

 

TCR Holdings / Metwide are advertising this prefix without permission and
thus far all attempts to contact them and have this removed are ending at
failure,

 

The owner of these prefixes has even been to the extent of contacting their
upstream provider TPG without success

 

I was wondering if anybody else has ever had any issues like this, and might
be able to point me in the right direction for the next step, 

 

The customer has already updated this /24 prefix description stating that
its been hijacked so it appears all over the address space

 

Appreciate any help on or off-list

 

Daniel
