ps: for those who read the whole mail: did you noticed something?
Good Morning
are you running an ssh daemon on non standard ports to avoid some of the drive-by-scanning ? we have been doing that for quite some time now with great reduction of scanning noise ... since yesterday this has changed ... we are getting a lot of connection attempts ...
are you seeing this too ? is someone actively looking for ssh across the whole port range or is this 'personal' ?
cheers

Hi everyone!
I'm currently working on a project for a Swiss non profit organisation.
They're reworking their network and would need 8 Cisco C3KX-NM-10G network modules for their C3560s, these are, however, on the pricier side for their budget (living the non-profit life).
They would also prefer to not go the Ebay route, so:
If anyone has some used ones laying around in their cellar we would gladly take them (just send me your price off-list and I'll relay the offer).
Cheers,
Stefan
Dear Swinogers.
I run a couple of .com and .ch domains, which are registered via
Gandi.net
About one week ago, Gandi activated 'privacy protect' on my .com
domains, hiding all my contact data in the whois output, without me
asking them to do so. They sent an email though, that they would do
so because of the GDPR.
I asked them how GDPR entitles them to do so, in my opinion the GDPR
aims for more transparency and thus, this is contra productive.
Also, such domains usually quite quickly get a bad reputation as hiding
the whois data is something the 'bad guys' do. Also it becomes a bit
more difficult, to verify if a domain is legit or not to decide upon
well crafted phishing emails. Or to contact the owner in case of
security incidents.
I told Gandi about my concerns, but only got the reply that they
were forced to hide whois contact information on all domains registered
via their service because of GDPR. Having the contact data published
now is optional and has to be activated manually by the domain owner.
This surely is not the case, as my .ch domains registered with gandi
still show my complete contact.
So I asked Gandi for how the GDPR exactly forces them to hide their
customer's whois data. I haven't got a reply to this yet.
So I wonder if somebody on this list knows the background why gandi acts
this way and if other registrars do the same.
If I get the whois data for some well known domains like:
microsoft.comgoogle.comswiss.comcredit-suisse.com
NONE has 'privacy protect' activated.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
-Benoît Panizzon-
