TeenPup: Rescue aging machines

We've all got very old machines that we'd love to use, but sadly, they won't run newer versions of Windows and indeed, newer versions of some Linux distro's. Thankfully there's someone out there that has seen fit to work on a Linux based distribution for this very purpose (time to pick out my 486 hehe (did also have a Victor from 1981, but some idiot threw that out)).

Evil network: Sagade Ltd / ATECH-SAGADE AS6851 (85.234.190.0/23)

I've mentioned Sagade Ltd before, it's a totally Black Hat Latvian network that should be blocked on sight. Google's Safe Browsing diagnostic for this range is fairly damning:

....

There's very little point playing whack-a-mole with these Latvian IP addresses. It's probably worth null-routing the entire country until some government agency that isn't being paid off by Russian organised criminals sorts the mess out. There's a list of major Latvian IP address allocations here- unless you do business in the Baltic states, then blocking all of them will probably do no harm.
