Professor Vincenzo Piuri, Università degli Studi di Milano

6 Replies

We do not support Vincenzo Piuri for IEEE president. We also regret having had to list the IP address and domain name of his alma mater, but that happens when you do not react to complaints of abuse.

The original spam and complaint happened in mid-May 2017.

Repeat spam in earlier today, no responses to the May complaint, so we listed the sending organization.

    Following still more spam of the same kind and absolutely no response whatsoever from the University of Milan,

    • We have escalated the listing for Unimi.it to 159.149.10.0/24.
    • We have informed GARR.
    • We have informed Rector Gianluca Vago.
    • We have informed Amazon AWS where Professor Piuri hosts his personal website.
    • We have listed the IP and the domain name of Professor Piuri’s personal website.
    • We have been made aware of Professor Piuri’s multi-year history in such matters – thank you, Fake Conferences blog.

    Following still more spam of the same kind and still zero response from the University of Milan, we decided not to list 159.149.130.0/24 and 159.149.70.0/24, but went straight for the 159.149.0.0/16.

    We listed Aruba.it’s 62.149.156.0/24 after Professor Piuri used his University of Milan connection 159.149.70.130 to connect to Aruba servers and send out the same spam. We also listed the new domain name aeflab.net which was in the From: – this belongs to the Politecnico di Bari.

    The University of Milan email services office wants their IP to be removed.

    Just like that. They quote the reason 

    $ host -t txt 0.0.149.159.bl.scientificspam.net
0.0.149.159.bl.scientificspam.net descriptive text "[VINCENZOPIURI] /16 escalation listing for Universita degli studi di Milano - see https://www.scientificspam.net/?p=400 [email protected] 20180213"

    in their delisting request, but give us no reason why we should reconsider. In addition, Professor Piuri remains tightly seated where he always was.
