[routing-wg] AS28753 - Leaseweb Deutschland GmbH -- Facilitating legacy squatting?

In the period from 2020-12-04 until 2020-12-10 someone representing
AS28753 - Leaseweb Deutschland GmbH, or someone purporting to represent
that ASN/company created a set of thirteen (13) new route: entries in
the security-free RADB data base:

https://pastebin.com/raw/qs9yywFe

It appears somewhat more than coincidental that many of these new RADB
route entries refer to either(a) legacy IPv4 address blocks in the ARIN
region or else (b) unassigned (bogon) IPv4 address space in the ARIN
region.

A listing of the relevant IPv4 cidrs along with the top-level allocation
holders for each CIDR is given in the following table:

https://pastebin.com/raw/rnqMXHW0

Although there is some ambiguity regarding the status of the non-US/non-ARIN
blocks listed in the above table, my inspection of the relevant WHOIS
records for the US/ARIN blocks indicates to me that these are all either
(a) abandoned IPv4 legacy blocks or else (b) unassigned ARIN bogons.  This
strongly suggests that all of the IPv4 address blocks named in all of the
relevant RADB rote entries may be, and likely are being squatted on at the
present time.

Please note however that AS28753 - Leaseweb Deutschland GmbH - is not
itself doing any of the squatting.  Rather, the squatting is being
undertaken by the various ASNs mention in the following active routing
summary:

62.182.160.0/21    AS39325   RU  Viptelecom LLC
79.173.104.0/21    AS13259   RU  Delta Telesystems Ltd.
85.28.48.0/20      AS13259   RU  Delta Telesystems Ltd.
85.89.104.0/21     AS13259   RU  Delta Telesystems Ltd.
89.187.8.0/21      AS41762   UA  PE Logvinov Vladimir Vladimirovich
91.229.148.0/22    AS56968   KZ  TemirLan Net Ltd
128.0.80.0/20      AS34498   RU  Jilcomservice
199.61.32.0/19     AS9009    GB  M247 Ltd
204.229.64.0/19    AS10650   US  Extreme Internet
205.134.96.0/19    AS10650   US  Extreme Internet
205.148.96.0/19    AS397373  US  H4Y Technologies LLC
209.151.96.0/19    AS9009    GB  M247 Ltd
216.93.0.0/19      AS9009    GB  M247 Ltd

Note that AS10650 (Extreme Internet) is itself a legacy abandoned ARIN
ASN.  It is likely also squatted.  It's one and only current upstream,
according to bgp.he.net, is AS13259 - Delta Telesystems Ltd. (Russia).

In fact, all of the following ASNs from the above table also have AS13259,
Delta Telesystems Ltd. (Russia) as their one and only upstream at the
present time:

AS39325 - Viptelecom LLC
AS41762 - PE Logvinov Vladimir Vladimirovich
AS56968 - TemirLan Net Ltd
AS34498 - Jilcomservice
AS1065  - Extreme Internet

On this basis it would appear that the root of the problem in this case
lies at AS13259, Delta Telesystems Ltd. (Russia).

As a mitigation for these squats, I recommend dropping/blocking all of
the IPv4 CIDRs listed above.  Additionally, since AS13259 appears to
be highly untrustworth at the present time. I would advise blocking
all traffic to/from these blocks also:
