AU Government To Pilot Target Zombies

msblack writes " Australian news sources are reporting that the communication regulators will begin notifying ISPs of infected customer computers. In a three-month pilot program, the Australian Communications & Media Authority will identify zombie computers and ask their owners to clean them or risk being disconnected. When will U.S. regulators and ISPs get on board?"

I got excited for a second

I got my hopes up for a second. I though, "Finally! Those fat cats in Canberra are taking some action to prepare for the immanant impending zombie pandemic."

My elation was premature. This is just some lame story about computers sending spam.

Come on people! We need to start stockpiling canned goods, fresh water and shotgun shells now! If we wait until the first reports of infection, it may already be too late!
