Hi, Luke! MAAWG recently published a document to help ISPs deal with infected machines in their networks. It's not the same kind of pressure, but (as we learned with open relays at MAPS) pressure isn't very effective unless there are tools available to deal with the problem.

It could also use a lot more resources? Watching traffic flows for traffic destined to known C&C addresses is nice, but including a pointer to a resource that actually gives those addresses is much more useful. For those who don't deal with it every day, the document just says they need to spend even more time with google.
