I still get CodeRed/Nimda scans from about 10 different IP addresses
a day. How about sending complaints along with the excerpts of the
logfiles to the police and prosecuting authorities? At least in
europe, if nothing else, if enough people did that, it would show
them how much work the cybercrime act would mean for them! Not that I
think it would change much.
