Very interesting. Here are more articles connected with this:

http://www.knujon.com/news.html#directi
(See Aug 29th and earlier 28th Aug article)
Spamhaus's concluding comment made me chuckle:

Perhaps one may be wondering about the costs of hosting at Atrivo/Intercage or how to sign up? Well, don't expect to find this information at the company's websites as they were empty for years and for the last year have just shown "Website Coming Soon."
http://www.atrivo.com => "InterCage, Inc. INTENSE SERVERS. Website Coming Soon:"

At one time after being asked, "how on earth does your company get business?" an Atrivo/Intercage representative coyly said, "by word of mouth." That seems to be quite obvious. |

The latest Spamhaus blog entry (and Knujon's) about Atrivo/Intercage is good reading. Thanks for pointing that out.

I also found the Knujon 'directi.com' / 'publicdomainregistry.com' article interesting, especially the aspect of where they are located.
The servers for www.directi.com [209.62.85.50] and www.publicdomainregistry.com [209.62.85.57] are located in New York. Email replies from PDR regarding abuse reports come from mail.internal.directi.com [203.199.114.35] which is in Mumbai, India.

The chief executive of EstDomains , 27-year-old Vladimir Tsastsin apparently has a criminal past.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/09/estdomains_a_sordid_history_an.html
| Quote: | Tartu County Court just found a man working as the acting manager of an IT company guilty of entering illegal data into card payment systems of Internet stores for the purpose of material gain, creating forged documents, using forged documents, and money laundering.
The court sentenced 27 year old Vladimir Tsastsin to three years imprisonment of which 6 months and 11 days must be served , according to Tartu County Court press office.
Since Tsastsin already spent that much time in pretrial detention, it will be counted as time served. |
Joint statement from Directi, HostExploit and Kunujon Sept 7th 2008
http://hostexploit.com
Worth remembering:
"Directi reaffirmed that its abuse team will suspend privacy protection on any domain for which they receive a genuine complaint in less than 24 hours."
Atrivo seems to be losing its internet connections and some of its IP addresses are being recalled. See comment updates:
