Re: Network 195.70.202.0/24 is hacker-freindly

[Nissa Moore - ISSM <mooren () spawar navy mil>]

It seems to me very unethical not to mention unprofessional 
of the Network Adminstrator to not clean up his/her infected 
machines.  If the network administrator is truly aware of the 
infection, they are putting not only their network at risk, 
but every other network that attaches to them.  Also if that 
network administrator is truly aware of the infection and 
isn't willing to clean it, they can possibly lose their job, 
and or be arrested for intentionally spreading viruses.  
By the way intentionally spreading viruses/worms is a U.S. 
federal crime.

It's also unprofessional, unethical, and illegal to scan 
someone else's network without their consent.
