And that's the most interesting part of the story. Clearly, many of us "out here" could see that McColo, like Atrivo/Intercage, was a major source of badness. Why couldn't the providers servicing them -- who quite obviously had access to far more data than any of us -- see the same thing? What conclusion should we draw from their failure to act in a timely and professional manner, long before a WaPost reporter got involved?
it's one thing to when you know, it's something else when you know that everybody else also knows. revenue is king and technology/security people are pawns. cynically perhaps, i am convinced that had mccolo only been doing bots and spam, they'd be alive today. but they touched the "third rail" of american law enforcement -- child porn. -- Paul Vixie _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
