Happy Sunday nanogers...

I was doing some follow up reading on the "js.scob.trojan", the latest
"hole big enough to drive a truck through" exploit for Internet Explorer.

On the the things the article mentioned is that ISP/NSPs are shutting off
access to the web site in russia where the malware is being downloaded
from.

Now we've done this in the past when a known target of a DDOS was upcoming
or a known website hosted part of a malware package, and it is fairly
effective in stopping the problems.

So what I was curious about is would there be interest in a BGP feed (like
the DNSBLs used to be) to null route known malicious sites like that?


don't reinvent the wheel: www.cymru.com has a project already under way
for this, with many operators participating at this time.
