[anti-abuse-wg] What is YAHOONET?

Hi all,

I'm aware of the various pages that Wikipedia dedicate to Yahoo! and related services.  I'm unsure how to treat YAHOONET as an ISP.

The abuse contact they registered at RIPE in 2007 is abuse at yahoo-inc.com.  It bounces.  I wrote to network-abuse at cc.yahoo-inc.com asking what address should I use for complaints.  I got an automated reply telling me to go to:
https://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?page=contact&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML

That link ultimately redirects to the same host/path with the query string replaced by "page=oops".

I had tried to contact someone at Yahoo! before.  I don't think it's worth trying again.  So I think I'm going to put YAHOONET in the heavily firewalled list of ISPs with no abuse team.  I hesitated because I used to consider Yahoo! something big, with possibly many worthy customers.  Is it still so?  I mean, would any savvy netizen face the Internet through such an ISP?


Best
Ale
