- Warez/Piracy websites

The last point is less common on LW as most use Ecatel for that (also dutch, very scummy provider, full of spammers, hackers, phishers, criminals basically).

Referring to WJunction.com again, you can see their host section, almost every host listed there is on leaseweb or ecatel. They all buy the same configuration from LW and use it to sell VPSes on (or windows accounts) which are then used to upload pirated content.

Last time I checked, a huge amount of their IPs are spamlisted too.
