AFRINIC insider stole Internet resources
Large chunks of Internet Protocol address space in Africa were stolen with the help of at least one insider at AFRINIC. That was the conclusion of Internet investigator Ron Guilmette after five months of detective work.
The primary function of the African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) is to assign IP address blocks, and keep track of those assignments. If IP address space is like Internet real estate, then AFRINIC is the deeds office.
