1. Network Abuse Update Frank Salanitri Project & Systems Services Manager, APNIC

2. What is APNIC role in preventing network abuse? As a registry, APNIC adopts and applies policies for it’s community which address network abuse. APNIC does not have the capacity to investigate abuse complaints or the legal powers to regulate Internet activity. APNIC seeks to raise awareness of the need for responsible network management in the Asia Pacific region, through training and communication. 2

3. IRT Object Reporting of network abuse can be directed to specialized teams such as Incident Response Teams (IRTs) Implemented in AP region by policy Prop-079 in November 2010. –Mandatory for inetnum, inet6num and aut-num objects created and updated in whois database. –South Asia has approximately 56000 inetnum objects. 35000 with missing IRT maintainer. 3

10. In Conclusion The most frequent complaint type received for South Area is Spams(87%) IRT objects are registered in APNIC Whois to reach the appropriate people for abuse complaints We understand there are issues with POCs in handling these complaints: –POCs are always not uptodate/reachable –POCs receive a large amout of spams We need to ensure that the mechanism in place is adequate in helping resolve these complaints

11. What can you do? We need your co-operation to maintain correct contacts in WHOIS –Please review your contacts in Whois - email/phone. –Report incorrect contacts in APNIC WHOIS to helpdesk@apnic.net helpdesk@apnic.net Give us your feedback about effectiveness of IRT objects, or if any problems/suggested solutions in abuse handling –APNIC secretariat : “helpdesk@apnic.net” –You can make policy proposals to improve IRT and POCs in Whois if you feel there is a need for change.
