Le site maxmind.com est-il sûr ?

I found this service is also used by phishing/spam operations, though they may not directly be engaged in spamming or phishing activities. Additionally, this company has been negligent in their attempts to pair IP addresses with geographical locations: *****

Maxmind products provide a useful service to those that need IP geo-location tools, but attempt to be far too accurate for any users safety.Police and broadcast services would find this useful, for example to ensure your Live Streaming or TV service is only broadcast to locations you are licensed to broadcast too.If used by unscrupulous companies or persons, Maxmind provides user details that could be a major security risk! There are several examples of phishing, spam and re-/mis- direction via Maxmind. They are also not completely reliable, causing false positives (and negatives) leading to accusations of fraud against legitimate users, and offering IP data workarounds allowing criminals to avoid being highlighted.Furthermore, on their on site they have the cheek to use "AdRoll", the self-proclaimed largest advert targeting & re-targeting company on the web!I cannot trust a company that can pass on data that could lead to my address becoming known to anyone!

Site providing geolocation for ipv4 with more and more ipv6 all the time. Also provides tools (paid) to unmask many proxy servers as well as an online miniFraud scoring tool (also fee based). Geolocation databases may be freely download for local use. I suspect that many of the comments which disrespect the site are sour grapes from people with not so pure intents.
