A Canadian blogger has offered $1000 to anyone who can trace the source of a death threat posted on his blog. Anyone here up to the task and fancy making a bit of money?

''Tonight at 10:30 p.m. MT I received this comment posted to my blog:

 

ezra you will be killed by my hands

 

The IP address from which the comment was made is 72.137.199.43

 

I'm not a good Internet sleuth; I think that's a Rogers account. That's all I know. But I'd like to know more.''

 

''UPDATE: Here are some more clues for you. I searched for the above IP address within my blog's statistics program, and I came up with the information here. The user is in Toronto, the host name is "CPE001217af1113-CM00195eebd328.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com" and the ISP is called "Rogers Cable Inc. Wlfdle" I don't know what Wlfdle means -- do you?''

could have been sent through tor which means that the information could be completely useless as it would only be the exit node.

The IP block for that IP belongs to Rogers Cable Communications Inc. and the network name is ON-ROG-7-WLFDLE-6. The user would need to contact Rogers for more information.

It's not listed as an open proxy or in any of my standard blacklists.

Would that mean that the poster might not be using a proxy at all?

It means either it's been closed and removed, or they're not using a proxy at all, and a quick report to the police/ISP should be easily resolved...

So maybe you're about to make yourself an easy $1000?
