If an attacker sets up a malicious node and sets up the contact info of another (existing) operator, this only increases the chances that somebody contacts the person, that will at this point disown the node and it would be clear that something fishy it is going on. Of course, on the other hand I see the scenario of faking contact information to attack the reputation of an operator and get him in trouble. What am I missing? C
