It shouldn't be a crime to reach out and hack an infected machine that's attacking your network.

Another vote for ISP involvement 2003-12-19
Anonymous
I agree with the bulk of responses to the article. The ISPs are in the perfect position to discover and eliminate many types of network attacks. Customer profiling, scanning email for viruses, and other techniques could be best deployed at the ISP's backbone. It's long past time that ISPs checked the network traffic over their equipment for port scanning activity, deluges of packets to or from specific network addresses, and monitored traffic for other anomalous behavior to or from their customers.
