[asterisk-biz] FRAUD: BE AWARE

[Nitzan Kon]

Here's a list of those we've caught lately:

172.173.96.17
85.25.139.99
68.118.206.148
78.101.100.21
172.158.212.35
41.196.60.34
86.152.245.47
212.38.144.47

Beware of Egypt, Jordan, and Palestine. Qatar is pretty bad too.

Would probably be a good idea to put a database of offending IP addresses. We already block these, but would be a good thing to share a blacklist between multiple providers eventually.
