As another security professional, I'm laughing my ass off. Imagine wondering what targets might be nice, and reading the comments in this file. How nice of them to email and tell us exactly which IP ranges are sensitive!

I'm not a security professional and I was exactly thinking this. Why would you give away your sensitive IP blocks.

Not everything is a technical system, and technology does not exist in a void. I'd think the field that coined the term social engineering would understand that.
The tech world is in for a rude awakening as technology becomes less a field of nothing but specialists, and actually gets infiltrated by a greater and greater number of tech-savvy, yet industry independent stakeholders.
We've had a social blank check to work from for the better part of half a century. You now have people writing children's intros to k8's. If you don't think that at some points technical problems don't start getting solved via social/legislative/legal means, you're in for a bit of a rough time.
