Did AS8003 just disappear?

Not a popular idea here, but IPv6 folks. Even for k8s, even for your internal stuff.

&gt; Once again as a final note: your corporate network may be using the formerly unused DoD space internally, and if so, there is a risk you could be leaking it out to a party that is actively collecting it. How could you know? Using Kentik’s Data Explorer, you could quickly and easily view the stats of exactly how much data you’re leaking to AS8003 (now AS749). May be worth a check, and if so, start a free trial of Kentik to do so.<p>Not that I don&#x27;t appreciate the free trial offer. But before getting into data characteristics, I&#x27;m curious which addresses should be examined in a cursory internal look-see?

Opened this from RSS feed, because I thought AS8003 is a name of a star or a galaxy.

&gt; However, despite the new origin (AS749) these prefixes are still routed exclusively through Hurricane Electric (AS6939)<p>sounds pretty familiar.

<i>&gt; The message above has a timestamp of 16:57 UTC (11:57am ET) on January 20, 2021, moments after the swearing in of Joe Biden as the President of the United States and minutes before the statutory end of the administration of Donald Trump at noon Eastern time.<p>The questions that started to surface included: Who is AS8003? Why are they announcing huge amounts of IPv4 space belonging to the U.S. Department of Defense? And perhaps most interestingly, why did it come alive within the final three minutes of the Trump administration?</i><p>From the linked article on top, as background info. Quite interesting.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kentik.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;the-mystery-of-as8003&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kentik.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;the-mystery-of-as8003&#x2F;</a>

I wonder if the spammers at Global Resource Systems LLC were just covert ops mapping the email space rather than IP.

Came here because I thought maybe AS8003 was another disappearing aircraft like MAS370.

&gt;Article about AS8003<p>Entire comment thread is irrelevant bikeshedding.

I&#x27;m surprised kentik is still around. They were selling an inferior product to a company I worked at that was bought by Nokia. I figured they would&#x27;ve gone out of business by now.
