You speak of not stopping, but still not adding more technology, more manpower and whatnot to the problem. Sometimes standing still while everything else around you moves is pretty much the same as stopping. While I agree that the current process of hunting botnets, disabling their C&Cs and such is the BEST way of eventually trying to smother the big problem we should probably consider the alternative. What would things be like if we HADN'T done what we are donig? And what would happen if we stepped on the break now? Worth thinking about that too. -- /ahnberg.
