A couple of fun facts about this guy:

His little ISP is AS267, which is a SHOCKINGLY low number. That's like.. the ISP equiv of a 4 digit slashdot id, or owning something like sodapop.com.

He's also one of the authors of RFC 5575, which is a pretty big deal in the DDoS world.

I recognized his name from providing hosting for the outages.org list[0] – if you haven't subscribed, and you do anything operations at all, go hit the button now.

Not come across this list before.

I'm being a bit lazy here but do you happen to know if there is a way to consume this programatically? I'm thinking RSS or perhaps an API?

Edit: For the benefit of others who might be interested, I've just subscribed using Feedbin's [0] email-to-RSS feature so updates will appear in my RSS reader!

This is a mailing list. Subscribe and point it to something that can ingest messages, similar to how you would pipe support@ to a helpdesk and auto-create tickets.
