Something calling itself “ScienceDomain International Ltd”, apparently of Third Floor, 207 Regent Street, London, W1B 3HH, continues to turn up in spamtraps. They have existed as an UK company<\/A> twice, but both registrations have been dissolved (Reg. No 07794635 – Dissolved on 14 January 2014; Reg. No 08988029 – Dissolved on 24 November 2015). Nonetheless, they process personal data without having ever registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office<\/A>, which in itself is a criminal act in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n


\nA recent spam led us to perform a reverse DNS scan of the OVH netblock 37.59.222.0\/24. The relevant part ranges from .160 to .191:<\/p>\n
