Yes and no, while RIPE can help they can only up to a point. For example, the assets are transferred to someone , up to that point RIPE can help but if another transaction has followed then sorry but they can't do much
- kortilla 3y agoThis isn’t the blockchain. All of that can be easily reversed
- gbil 3y agoTalking from experience in such a case, malicious actor transfers IP range from entity A to intermediate entity B and then entity B sells that range to entity C. Entity C obtained the asset on a perfectly legal way as they don't know and care how entity B got the asset. Nothing entity A can do then when they discover it, they can't get assets back plus RIPE also can't do anything since they only offer the tool for tracking such transactions they don't take part on them . If you want follow any legal process you want to be reimbursed from entity B and the malicious actor but you are not getting your IP range back
- pmontra 3y agoA legal process can give them back the IP range but it's going to take a long time. They'll have to find other IP addresses until it's settled.
