This is certainly true, but pointing out that updating bogon
filters is a good idea isn't - I believe - outside the scope
of HUMBUG's mailing lists.

Taking this email as a prompt to update bogon filters,
I'd certainly look into it more if I had such a filter
in place.  A useful URL for reading up on bogons is
http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/, and a list of updated IP
ranges is at http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-list.html.
The 125/8 range appears to have be taken off the bogon list
earlier this year.

Thanks,
Brad
