Calling premium rate services (either in ZA or internationally) would be one way to get some money out of possessing these things via kick-backs.

ZA SIM provisioning does not by default permit international calls AFAIK, however, and I'm not sure what the situation was with these particular SIMs. If they permitted international calls, then this situation *really* stinks.
As Americans, you have the right when a jurer to make a judgement on the validity of the law and not only whether or not someone is technically 'guilty' in terms of that law.
It's called the power of jury nullification, IIRC.. See http://www.fija.org/
"An analysis of the last few weeks of their archive shows a similar percentage of exploited Linux systems. Note also that the 'Unknown' category is rather high, and certainly contains at least some Linux systems, further increasing the percentage."
This is true *if* the _proportion_ of Linux servers in the Unknown category to the entire population is significantly greater than the _proportion_ of Linux servers in the 'known' category.
The statement as posted seems to indicate that a greater number of Linux servers in the unknown category directly results in an increase in the proportion of Linux servers hacked, which is untrue.

You say CARP/pfsync does transparent balancing on IP level.
You mean to say CARP, period.
pfsync is for synchronizing firewall state tables.
