So, here's my point (and I know I'm rambling, come on, it's a Friday): when every other back trace leads to Korea, it's not necessarily because Korea is irresponsible or incompetent; in terms of the global distribution of windows-based worm factories, they just account for a disproportionate amount of the Internet.
Yes, I should have clarified this. I dont think the folks in Korea are any more or less competent than their NA counter parts-- be that end user or operator. In my case, the open relay was an Adelphia cable user on the US east coast somewhere. I think from a criminal's point of view its more desirable to locate offshore as it will be more difficult due to language, legal and even time differentials to track down the people controlling the victim host site.
