Hi there, Sorry for this not FreeBSD related question but since it is ISP related one I figured you might be able to help us out. Some customers of ours have been having problems with hackers placing orders with stolen credit cards from particular geographical locations and they have asked us to help them limit the number of those orders somehow. Any idea of how this could be done? I was thinking that perhaps one possible solution would be to have a list of network addresses physically located in those areas of the world and either completely remove ability to place orders for users from those areas or at least not charge the credit cards on-line for such users until the orders have been confirmed somehow. So far, however, I have not been able to find information about how different network addresses are distributed in the world. Any idea where I could find such information?
