My Cyveillance page has been updated twice in the last month. The
changes were as follows:

1. Removed the links to the Spamcop archives as they were out of date.
2. Added the two /24 blocks which are impossible to link back to
Cyveillance without correlating them to firewall logs and seeing that
they act like Cyvellance within seconds of rejections from known
Cyveillance blocks.

In short, they are getting worse in their abuses. It used to be possible
to find rwhois or SWIP data pointing back to Cyveillance. Now, the
blocks they are using are anonymous blocks within large ISP allocations
with no way to trace them easily. They don't even bother to get
robots.txt. They just start at the home page and follow all the links
there. The fact that there is no rwhois or SWIP data is probably in
violation of ICANN rules.

No evidence has ever been presented that they do *anything* useful with
the information that they get from SpamCop.
