the SOA part is discouraging, I'm sure their monitoring has picked that up, so
for some reason they might be unable to act.

I can't find it allocated or assigned to Orange; I only see the /8 in
ARIN's records. Where did you see the allocation?

I would suspect this to be a typo in a config somewhere and have dropped an
email Orange's way (one of their contact emails already bounced, which
unfortunately just reinforces my bad experiences with their networking team.)

Perhaps somebody on the list can backchannel to C via private email.
