ISP Intercage, dubbed a “major hub of cybercrime”, with 78% of its domains and mail servers used for malicious purposes, has been cut off by its upstream provider,Pacific Internet Exchange. Intercage president Emil Kacperski has ignored complaints about that activity for the past 5 years, and when Spamhaus blacklisted PIE earlier this month, it was apaprently the last straw.

          His network was used for very clearly hostile criminal activity. I’m not aware of any legitimate customers,” said Matt Jonkman, an independent researcher who contributed to a white paper on Intercage.

Spamhaus has reported more than 350 cybercrime hosting incidents on Intercage in just the past 3 years. Cybercrime includes spamming, hacking, malware, internet fraud, phishing, and more.

Kacperski said he is looking for a new provider and doesn’t know how long it will take. Let’s hope there are no providers out there willing to help him put his cybercrime haven back online!
