| Friday - just three days after Microsoft's Patch Tuesday - though it was 
| dated Wednesday, September 10. By Saturday, honeypots maintained by 
| researchers at Symantec began detecting variants.

Ad hoc malware police besiege net neutrality

,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past couple of weeks, white hat netizens have scored two important 
| victories in their tireless quest to clean up some of the internet's darkest 
| recesses. While the events are encouraging, forgive us if we don't jump for 
| joy.   
| 
| The first win came when Directi - a registrar criticized for making anonymous 
| domain-name registration available to an inordinate number of scammers - 
| agreed to beef up its policing of malicious sites. The Mumbai provider of a 
| service known as PrivacyProtect now promises to suspend abusive services 
| within 24 hours of receiving a legitimate complaint. It's also agreed to 
| completely suspend the service to Estdomains and other customers accused of 
| using it to protect owners of illegal websites.

| But Prof. Avishai Wool and his graduate student Ohad Ben-Cohen of Tel Aviv
| University’s Faculty of Engineering are taking a different approach. They
| recently unveiled a unique new program called the “Korset” to stop [Windows]
| malware on Linux, the operating system used by the majority of web and email
| servers worldwide.
