ABOUT US

The Anti-Abuse Project is committed to raising awareness of the security risks on the Internet, promoting the importance of cybersecurity, and providing resources to protect businesses and individuals online through tutoring and sharing of good practices.

Peter Dimov

You don't necessarily have to be an expert in cybersecurity, but you must at least be aware of the threats and follow some fundamental security principles to ensure better safety for yourself and stability for your business.

Ignorance is a fallacy in the field of cybersecurity. Not caring is a travesty. Businesses and individuals must realize the risks of operating in today's digital environment and adopt sustainable security strategies.

-- Peter D.
Founder of The Anti-Abuse Project

The primary focus of our consulting work is to help you respond to security incidents and implement safety measures to protect your websites and other digital assets.

2008

The Anti-Abuse Project achieves top ranking (1st page) on Google for the key phrase "rbl check". Naturally, that brings a lot of incoming traffic to the website as more people begin to use our Multi-RBL checking tool.

We receive a lot of inquiries about a possible solution for automating the process, allowing for the monitoring of multiple IP addresses.

2004

It all starts as a collective effort by a small group of tech and law students who share a common interest in cybersecurity. Finding resources on various forms of Internet abuse and the related legal matters proves to be a challenge in the year 2004. Information is scarce and scattered.

The team is determined to collect whatever data they can discover and put it all together into a singular online resource.
On October 15th, the first version of The Anti-Abuse Project website is launched.
