Zombie Report By ISP
twitter writes "Information Week has a summary of a report by Prolexic detailing Zombie activity by ISP, country and population statistics. AOL, the largest provider, had the most zombies but lower rates than others. Fourth largest Earthlink was not in the top 20. The information is gathered from hundreds of customer sites." From the article: "Weinstein went on to say that Prolexic's numbers were actually good news for AOL. 'It's a demonstration that the tools we provide are keeping members safe. Our very aggressive actions -- we provide anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall services to our users -- make them measurably safer than those on other ISPs.'"

Sometimes jokes just write themselves...
There is nothing more practical than a good abstract theory.
we provide anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall services to our users
BUT WAIT! There's more!
If you act now, we'll throw in ANOTHER anti-virus service at no extra charge! All this for only 89.95!
Okay, I'm not supposed to do this, but I'll personally add another EXTRA anti-spyware monitoring system AND take off 50 bucks from the retail price!
All this and more for only 3 easy payments of 39.95!
1. Participation in Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks
2. EATING BRAINS
