Hey there,

Dayjob recently got a report from compliance () tucows com alleging that an old, historic bind9.tar.gz.asc (a 
plain-text checksum file) on ftp.isc.org is malware.  It’s not.  It’s a false positive.

Additionally, the URL they sent to vew the reporting material is http-only, and does not work, but it’s not hosted by 
tucows/hover, it’s hosted at http://url4091.abuse-report.pir.org, is http-only (what year is it?) and doesn’t work!  
Nor does that report actually come out and say what the file in question is, it’s only shown in an attached screenshot.

Given what recently happened to another important internet domain (one of our IP providers) being put on administrative 
hold due to basically one complaint of fraud, I am incredibly concerned.

I’ve been in touch with the registrar that holds our domain name about this (Hover/Tucows), and I’ve got a direct line 
with the CTO, but I need assurances that this will not lead to obnoxious actions, a week before Christmas.
