Hi,
196.52.0.0/14 was recently revoked.
Before it was revoked, the whois for this /14 was:
> inetnum:196.52.0.0 - 196.55.255.255
> netname:LogicWeb-Inc
> descr: LogicWeb Inc.
> descr: 3003 Woodbridge Ave

However, now, this /14 has been revoked by AFRINIC. Do a whois on it and
you will see, it's unallocated.
I believe this /14 was under control from our big friend from Israel, but I
don't remember.
This does not matter however.
But, sadly there are about 367 ip ranges being announced from this /14

This is a BOGON, unallocated space.
I would appreciate if any network that is on that list and on this mailing
list, would stop announcing parts of this hijacked /14.
I reached out to RADB to remove all the radb entries concerning this /14,
however after 72 hours they still haven't.

How is it possible that they can't just delete all entries? It is
UNALLOCATED SPACE, it shouldn't be routed, it shouldn't have radb.

I have also tried to post about this massive source of BOGONS on the nanog
mailing list, however, they rejected my posts.
Most likely because it possibly concerns "that one guy from Israel",
however the nanog moderators refused to comment while continuing to reject
my posts.
Their self-censorship is very destructive and harmful. I hope that if this
list is moderated, I will not have any trouble posting about this issue.
Greetings,
Ostap.
