Korean group denies spreading worm
Last week ZDNet Australia reported local security expert Glenn Miller as saying his company Janteknology had received an enormous number of malicious probes from the Korean Network Information Centre (KRNIC), a domain name registry. However, KRNIC says that these IP addresses, registered in its name, have been assigned to local organisations, which are ultimately responsible for IP address management.
Last week ZDNet Australia reported local security expert Glenn Miller as saying his company Janteknology had received an enormous number of malicious probes from the Korean Network Information Centre (KRNIC), a domain name registry.
However, KRNIC says that these IP addresses, registered in its name, have been assigned to local organisations, which are ultimately responsible for IP address management.
KRNIC representative Mooho Cheon told ZDNet Australia that these IP addresses are not used internally.
Today Glenn Miller said that one IP address (203.249.148.38) definitely belonged to KRNIC and that as a matter of “public service” KRNIC should notify their customers if they have attacking IPs. --Rachel Lebihan, ZDNet Australia News
