Re: A plea to ignore abuse reports from "watchdogcyberdefense.com"

[Calvin Judy via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

Hetzner's automated abuse system is just as terrible. I did a write up on it a couple years ago, when it was being sold 
as a DoS method on certain nefarious forums, the malicious actor repeatedly spoofs your IP/ranges toward Hetzner 
ranges, generating abuse reports to your ISP, until your ISP nullroutes/suspends.

We immediately bin anything that hits our abuse mailbox from Hetzner since then, because it got to the point that daily 
we were receiving obviously spoofed logs of UDP traffic.

I tried to climb the ladder of bureaucracy at Hetzner, the highest point I was able to reach was a "senior network 
engineer," who told me to disable spoofing on my network, but could not comprehend that disabling spoofing on my 
network does not prevent other networks from spoofing our IPs.
