-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Patrick Vande Walle writes on CircleID: [snip] I got an e-mail from someone currently attending the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) meeting in Geneva. The e-mail ended up in my spam folder because the IP address used for the wireless LAN at the meeting is on a spambot/virusbot blacklist, namely cbl.abuseat.org. Apparently some guy there has his computer infected by a spambot or a virusbot. Because the local host uses a NAT, all the computers share the same public IP address. This means that all the attendees to the meeting risk seeing their e-mails blacklisted somewhere. Funny this comes from the very people who would like to set up strategies to fight cybercrime...
