Posted by liambowen on Sunday July 03, 2022 @10:33PM
from the ask-hn dept.

For many months now, ICANN has been sending an absurd amount of traffic to a site I maintain from 192.0.32.224 and 192.0.47.224. From those two IP addresses, we have received 12,206,044 requests in June 2022 alone. In the last 6 months, the rate seems to remain relatively constant.

Their site (fightforua.org) said no combat experience necessary and correspondence with that organization confirmed this. (Edit: looks like it now required) I have no combat experience but do have experience with search and rescue and disaster relief. I know those are very different, but I am willing to either fight or do something I have experience with. I signed up about a week after their Legion came into existence. I heard back with some questions answered and a link to another form to fill out, which I did. Then nothing, and it's been a month or more. I wrote back and the response was that they were really busy with screening and I needed to wait longer.

Does anyone have ideas of how I can help Ukraine in Ukraine? I don't mind the very high risk but I have no money to donate.

OP says: "A cursory investigation showed that Namecheap is providing both registrar and hosting services for this phishing site." So he already contacted the host, Namecheap.
