| It's not at all surprising that I would get an IP address of this kind.
| In June 2006, Microsoft found that some 5.7 million PCs were infected
| with malicious software which had turned the computers into "zombies";
| i.e., the PCs were under the control of the hacker who had infected them.
| The zombies were then used to initiate sending spam or denial of
| service attacks.
