I'm saying that the world's malware authors, in their race to stay ahead of AV, are engaging in an uncoordinated, slow-motion DDOS of the world's AV systems. They are flooding the blacklists, and this flooding is accelerating. If it continues, the world's AV systems will be useless, as will be the machines they are protecting.
You are extrapolating, based on an incorrect assumption - that blacklists will exist forever. When the number of bad files exceeds the number of good files, then whitelists will reign instead. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
