A *much* smarter move on Comcast's part would be to simply null route any suspected infected computer until it is cleaned up.Absolutely. Infected systems should be walled off *in toto* ([...]) until they're fixed.And prevent their customers from some activity on the internet that may be extremely urgent and important?
Yes. One customer's idea of "extremely urgent and important" does not, or at least should not, outweigh the danger to everyone else on the net from failure to keep one's system from getting pwn3d. Anyone depending on the public Internet for anything "extremely urgent and important" is being grossly stupid anyway. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ 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.
