Virtualine operated primarily on AS202412 and AS219199 and as of right now, most of their subnets are gone. Only Pfcloud upstream remains. Aurologic was their primary upstream before, but I assume hardware at Tornado datacenter, was seized.

    He was probably providing services to IPTV providers.

    He was primarily hosting phishing, malware and spam. Nothing to do with IPTV, he didn't even have capacity for it.
    It was your ordinary "bulletproof" host, like many using Aurologic.

    I have been aware of them for a few years now, they used to host in Turkey before but eventually moved over to Aurologic in Germany.

    Could still be Turkey, I guess, tunneling via Aurologic? Also, what is OverRIPE?
