Helu,
Yes, I think that your observation is obvious.. publishing lists of
infected hosts is a bad idea. My question was asking if there was an
unofficial mitigation process to notify the end-use and/or the providers
involved for clean-up efforts.
I don't want lists of infected hosts nor do I want to publish lists
of infected hosts. Being that it is difficult to contact the end-user of
a lot of the infected hosts, is there a discrete process in place for
notifying the provider.. etc etc.
If nothing is in place, great, I'll just throw e-mails to the
end-users I can find and/or their respective NSP. If something is
in place.. either unofficial or special contacts at the NSPs, great, I'll
go that route.
