I'd welcome comments as to solutions to this. Or is it just scaremongering? j ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lauren Weinstein <lauren () vortex com> Date: Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 1:31 PM Botnets buying up IPv4 address space http://j.mp/nMJ5Lr (Threat Post) "Now, in one effort to get around these systems, some attackers are taking advantage of the lack of IPV4 space by either purchasing or renting blocks of IP space with good reputations that have been built up over the course of several years. A number of legitimate trading and auction sites have appeared as the IPV4 space became scarcer, and the attackers have gotten involved as well, getting their hands on known good IP blocks and using them for C&C or hosting malware." - - - --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- -
