Yes, I read that a couple of days ago. I wonder how long they sucker another ISP into it. My ISP (iiNET) is now involved with the movie distributors for allowing illegal downloads.

I read something about them hooking up with another ISP for a few hours before getting taken down again, they figured it was long enough for a good portion of the bot nets to get moved to new bot controllers. If I see something well written on that I'll post it.

We were getting more spam, but that was because our new version of MW Server we installed had the logic backwards for RBLs, so if an IP wasn't listed by an RBL MW Server thought it was spam
