Major Aussie ISP Disconnecting Trojaned PCs
daria42 writes "Australia's largest ISP, Telstra BigPond, has started disconnecting customers that it suspects have excess traffic-causing trojans installed on their PCs. The trojans have been flooding BigPond's DNS servers and causing extremely slow DNS requests for around a month now. Despite nightly additions of DNS servers, BigPond appears to be unable to cope with the extra traffic on its network." Note that the article says the disconnections are temporary and accompanied by communication with the affected customers, not just a big yanking-of-carpet.

WhaT?
It should also disconnect those rooted Linux-b0xen of clueless Gnetwo-users. Remember always: 40% of the world's spam is sent from rooted Linux-b0xen, while only about 0.5% of the world's b0xen are Linux-b0xen.
Think about it, fanboi.
The French overthrew their monarchy some years back. Does this mean it would not be news if the Queen were to chased out of the the UK by an angry mob?

You think you are cool if you say "b0xen", don't you?
You are not cool, you are just stupid.
And here I thought the French were only good at surrendering.
