LSN โ€” Local Sovereign Network

3,873 shared abuse email relationships. Smaller than the phone clusters, but more specific. An email address is a choice โ€” and choices reveal intent.

tech@cloudinnovation.org spans 15 ASNs. hm-changed@vnnic.vn means "nobody lives here anymore."

The Email Signal

Phone numbers can be generic helpdesks. Email addresses are more specific โ€” they imply an individual or team that receives, reads, and acts (or doesn't). The 3,873 shared email links are higher-signal than the phone clusters:

The High-Spread Anomalies

tech@cloudinnovation.org โ€” 15 ASNs

One email address responsible for abuse across fifteen autonomous systems. This is the Seychelles entity documented in 053B and 057F. The email exists because RDAP requires one. Its purpose is to satisfy the field requirement.

15 ASNs means Cloud Innovation purchases or leases IP space from at least 15 different upstream providers (Yisu Cloud, UCloud, CNSERVERS, Scloud, NEEVAI, and others). Each provider's abuse system routes complaints to this single email. The owner of this inbox โ€” if anyone checks it โ€” receives complaints from fifteen different networks about traffic they're intentionally generating.

hm-changed@vnnic.vn โ€” 14 ASNs

"hm-changed" โ€” hostmaster changed. This isn't a real contact. It's a Vietnamese NIC system flag indicating the record was modified. Yet 29 malicious IPs across 14 ASNs list it as their abuse email. Reports sent here arrive at a system mailbox that exists to document record changes, not to receive abuse complaints.

The organizations behind these IPs: Dang Duc Duy, Do Minh Tam, Ecofly โ€” small Vietnamese hosting operators whose RDAP records were updated by the Vietnamese NIC (VNNIC) at some point, leaving the system marker as the contact. Nobody fixed it. Nobody needed to โ€” no audit checks whether abuse contacts actually work.

jsipmanager@163.com โ€” 3 ASNs

A personal email address on China's 163.com (NetEase) service. Not a corporate domain. Not an organizational address. Someone used their personal email for IP management across three Chinese ASNs (ChinaNet Jiangsu, Chinanet Sichuan). This is a single person managing IP allocations as a side business โ€” or a reseller operating informally within the Chinese internet's registration framework.

The Individual vs. Institutional

The email clusters reveal a spectrum from institutional (anti-spam@chinatelecom.cn โ€” government-backed ISP with formal processes) to individual (jsipmanager@163.com โ€” one person with a 163 mailbox):

TypeExampleResponse Expectation
National ISPanti-spam@chinatelecom.cnWeeks-months (bureaucratic)
Corporatekornet_ip@kt.comDays-weeks (process-bound)
Individual Operatorfdias@frantech.caHours-days (personal decision)
Shell Entitytech@cloudinnovation.orgNever (decorative)
System Markerhm-changed@vnnic.vnNever (not a mailbox)
Personaljsipmanager@163.comUnknown (individual judgment)

The irony: the most responsive category (individual operators like fdias@frantech.ca) is often labeled "bulletproof-tolerant." Francisco Dias actually reads and responds to abuse reports โ€” he just gives customers time to respond before terminating. The shell entities and system markers never respond at all, yet face less public criticism because they're less visible.

Read Between the Lines

Email clusters are organizational X-rays. When one address spans 15 ASNs, you're seeing an entity that has systematically inserted itself across multiple networks. When a system marker replaces a real contact, you're seeing institutional neglect ossified into infrastructure.

The 163.com address is perhaps most revealing: somewhere in Jiangsu province, one person manages IP allocations using their personal email. This isn't nefarious โ€” it's how small-scale internet infrastructure works in practice. But it means abuse reports for three ASNs depend on whether this person checks their email, cares about the report, and has authority to act.

The entire abuse system is, ultimately, a bet on human behavior. And human behavior doesn't scale.

The Thread Forward

TI-2026-053F maps the belongs_to relationships โ€” 14,143 links showing which malicious IPs belong to which organizations. The concentration of abuse in specific networks reveals who could act and who chooses not to.
