Well, it looks like there might be good news regarding Abdallah_Internet Hizmetleri, a group that owned a few IP ranges on TurkTelekom. It appears they might no longer be operational. As of late last night or early today, all routes going to 88.255.90.0/24 and 88.255.94.0/24 appear to have gone dead. Part of the WHOIS record now reads as follows:

person: Mahmod AbdAllah el Gashmi
address: SISTEMNET TELEKOM BLACKLISTED PERSON
e-mail: admin@sistemnet.com.tr
phone: +902122666060

This is pretty good news as we have previously blogged about these IP ranges here. One of my Shadowserver colleagues also just recently published a whitepaper about AbdAllah Internet Hizmetleri. It would be awesome if this is what ultimately pulled the plug. You can read the whitepaper entitled “RBN Rizing” at whitepapers section on the Shadowserver website at whitepapers section or view it directly by going to RBN Rizing document itself. Happy reading and good riddance (?) to AbdAlllah_Internet!
