[..] "Pipe Networks managing director Bevan Slattery said Pipe had been testing a method of enabling banks, ISPs and law enforcement agencies to notify Pipe of new phishing emails. "Pipe could then distribute updated internet routing information to ISPs via the border gateway protocol, so internet users could not reach the fraudulent website." The implications of this are scary. Hijacking of IP space by a private company, supported by the government? -- Niels.
