Recent Harvesters "Not Found"

Author: J.Healy (13 May 08 3:39am)

Hi there,

Whenever I get an email advising that I've helped catch a harvester, I tend to look it up - just to learn a little about where it came form etc.

The last time I tried to look one up, I got the "the address you have specified does not exist in our database" page. So I figured there had been some sort of a false positive and the IP owner had already been in touch and all had been resolved.

This morning, the same thing happened with a different IP. This can't be coincidence, can it?

Has something broken on the IP lookup service?

Thanks,

Jack

I never get credit for harvesters caught. No one ever answers these questions.

There's sometimes a delay between what appears on the website and the backend systems. If you check back later, the information should be updated.
