Now that the story is in the wild, and a list of infected IP's is available, will PN be taking any action? For instance, will they look at the list of IP's, find which are using their network and then send them a quick email "hi there, you are infected with a virus/botnet called kraken, you can remove it by...."?

<aheam!> Did I mention that ISPs that ignore it should also be formated clean?!
Quote from: dgwebb The fact that Ian is going to raise this and try to help is a bonus for the people infected, most ISP's would just ignore it, so its a good thing.

Quote from: Strat Personally I would have thought an email to the affected with an advisory that their access could be blocked if they took no corrective action would be in order as they are putting many others at risk.
That's the idea, but I'm not manually trawling through god knows how many IPs to pull out the ones that are ours
