My guess would be it is NOT because of his complaints or the script but because ISP's are being swamped by all the traffic from their exploited machines and are now figuring out that they need to fix it before it bankrupts them or gets their ranges blacklisted by the rest of the net. Bigpond has reported troubles as well as Telstra from exploited machines on their networks, I am only surprised that more of them didn't figure out the impact sooner and start closing targeted ports, at least for outgoing traffic. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
