Why o why are isp's and hosters so ignorant in dealing with such issues and act like they do not care?
Because network operators rarely get together and turn off routing to abusive hosting. On the few occasions that has happened, it took years of consensus building. So, part of the problem is *your* upstream. Why didn't your upstream actively remove the entire abusive netblock? Why didn't your upstream contact other providers with your evidence, and together remove the abusive network from the global routing tables? As we get more experience with global "cyberwar", we're going to need faster response mechanisms. What will we do as some major government coordinates an attack on another? What will we do as some major North American government coordinates an attack on another region or facility?
