OVH WTF

If you work in the anti-spam or anti-malware business then you've probably come across OVH. It's a company with a shockingly bad reputation in these fields, tolerating malware and spammers to an extent that no other major host does. It even has a special tag in this blog to keep track of all the crap it hosts.

One particularly bad part of the network is the "MMuskatov" block 5.135.67.128/25 (5.135.67.128 to 5.135.67.255). I covered this back in February, but the situation has become even worse since that. This entire /25 hosts apparently zero legitimate sites and one of the highest concentrations of malware sites that I have seen for some time.

Out of 456 sites that I have identified in this block, 84 (18%) have been flagged as being dangerous by Google. 106 (23%) have a WOT trustworthiness score of 10 or less, and only 2 (0.4%) manage more than 40%.. and that's probably by accident.

A full list of the sites I can find and their ratings can be found here. And this isn't the only large scale black hat customer that OVH host, because there is Sidharth Shah as well. One can only speculate about the type of financial arrangements that these customers have in order to keep going.

I would recommend blocking the entire 5.135.67.128/25 range and implementing a zero-tolerance approach for OVH blocks that might appear on your radar for spamming and malware

Thanks for the post! A site Kootation.com hosting with OVH is abusing my blog by hot linking each and every image from my blog. contacted their abuse department, but of no use. Any help, suggestion would be highly appreciated.

lol I found this blog by searching for a completely list of OVH IP ranges. Sadly I can't find one. :-/ Guess why I'd want one?

@Birdy: I heard a rumour that there are some legitimate sites in OVH's ranges too ;)
