Isps could block all this spam at there level, but they don't.
As much as I blame Microsoft it has a lot to do with the networking world. The networking world is allowing this stuff to
happen, probably because engineers would rather make $$$ cracking than defending from users from attacks.
Telecoms and cable companys want chaos so they can harvest info. You are tripping if you think big companies don't dabble in
this stuff. They could stop it, I have seen papers with solutions, they won't implement them though.
WGA is another big reason this still goes on.
