I have previously recorded malicious traffic in the past. It was from a rogue gateway. The endpoint was simply dropped from our RIP44 statements.

To Charles' point - the traffic was firewalled, it's that alert which brought it to my knowledge. 

It also reiterates the need for RFC-documented methods to ensure we don't have stale records.

Isn't it more prudent for each user device to have their own security?
Maybe that is where a more useful discussion should take place. The
education of the user systems/allocation holders falls into line with
amateur radio being a technical hobby/service and those who are more
knowledgeable in our sphere should have more a sense of being an elmer
instead of keeping the information to themselves and be seen as wielding
a cudgel when "upstarts" ask questions to power. Money can sure corrupt
viewpoints, eh?
