What... what hosting provider will not notice this? Shouldn't their abuse mail address be glowing red?

  Do you have any idea of how many abuse addresses are /dev/nulled? Sadly: black-hat takedown pages are sometimes your best sources of information. A few weeks back, a site I visit periodically was pwned via what appears to have been a Wordpress bug, based on similarities between it and other sites listed by the black-hat hacker. I fired off mail to the standard contact addresses for the site (abuse, webmaster, postmaster), all of which bounced. The listed WHOIS contact actually worked (an argument against domains by proxy), but I also reached out to the upstream hosting provider, who had several other hosts similarly taken down, though other providers were also affected. Sadly, and from my own experience, monitoring abuse for smaller shops (1-2 man admin team, far too many fires going on) is often a very, very low priority.

  Shonky company. They wouldn't notice if someone nicked their servers.
