Intercage: Notorious ISP put offline again

Saad Ali Abbasi 

unplugged_thumbIntercage, a San Francisco Internet ISP, has been forced off the Internet for the second time this week. Intercage was first unplugged from the Internet when its last upstream partner, Pacific Internet Exchange, terminated service. Although a few days later another service provide (UnitedLayer) came in to save Intercage. The reason for abandoning probably is that the company has been heavily criticized by the Internet community for tolerating online scammers.

A research shows that 78 percent of the domains and mail servers on Intercage’s network were hostile. Whereas complaints have been coming in for years about malicious websites and spam servers on Intercage’s network. Although in recent weeks, Intercage states that it had been trying to cut down on cybercrime, all too late perhaps.
