With news that Twitter Inc. is now X Corp, we'll ask again:
Is it weird reverse DNS records from Elon Musk's x[.]com ping from an IP in Khabarovsk, Russia?
An IP that, up until recently, was administered by GCore Labs, who last year had pledged to no longer do business in 🇷🇺?
Maybe it’s just us, but does it also seem odd one of the other two domains hosted on the Russian Federation IP 92.38.189.247 is i41[.]ltd?
i41[.]ltd is registered to one Jianbo Zhang of Guangdong, China, the name of a professor focused on hydrogen and lithium-ion tech.🪫🔋
Usage of Russia’s Chelyabinsk — Khabarovsk fiber line has grown at least 14x over the past few years.
It’s ~20 miles from the border with China. Rostelecom runs it.
Is anyone listening?
Does anyone care?
More from x[.]com PTR records (reverse DNS) varmint hole:
The autonomous systems number (ASN) for IP 94.242.54.30, pinging from Moscow, Russia, is identified under Fishnet Communications LLC.
Fishnet Communications LLC is a Wyoming company registered by Candice Dillmon in 2017.
Per ICIJ, Dillmon is A-OK being the corporate agent for scammers, i.e. disgraced Polish politicians hawking snake-oil cures to the terminally ill.

Last Feb., G Core Labs refuted a German news report alleging the cloud hosting company was bypassing EU sanctions to forward Russia Today content through its servers.
This was after G Core pledged to do no business with Russia last year. (See first tweet)

But others called out inconsistencies in G Core's digital forensics.
Like the Low End Talk message board, where this discussion speaks about a new provider, EdgeAM, suddenly taking over G Core's database and login panels. Same passwords and everything.

FWIW: RT[.]com loads cdn.dmtgvn.com/wrapper/js/man…[.] js = IP 193.17.93.93

With an ASN listed as AS210756
