I tend to agree here. I have noticed so many attacks etc coming from APNIC as of recent that on our corp network we have an ACL to block a number of APNIC blocks. If there was a dynamic method to add null0 routes to identified zombies, I think that would help. IE. security company A provides a feed (BGP etc) to null route zombies that it has identified. But that opens a whole other can of worms.....
