What do you mean these should be fined? Level3 is a transit provider for massive portions of traffic on the Internet and Softlayer has some hundred thousand servers.

He means that is the host range he saw the most attacks from. Deduction then takes his argument to the understanding that many attackers use Level3 and Softlayer for attacking purposes.

IBM SoftLayer is a reputable cloud as far as I am concerned, just like AWS and Digital Ocean. I've seen and banned a few of the other names given, after concluding that they exclusively provide spam and malicious servers.
