Abuse-Tolerant HostingIT7 Networks Inc / 16clouds.com (AS25820)
IT7 Networks Inc (AS25820) operates approximately 425,000 IPv4 addresses across North America and Hong Kong under the 16clouds.com brand, with abuse contact routing to abuse@sioru.com. The network is tagged for BitTorrent, anonymizing proxy, and botnet infrastructure. A single IP in the 45.78.19.0/24 block generated over 4,000 block events against monitored infrastructure in a single day — the highest single-IP event rate in the observed dataset — consistent with dedicated, long-running attack VPS allocations rather than compromised consumer endpoints.
