I've been following this with much interest. I don't see RBL (which I use extensively for email) as doing much. SOme activity on Twitter already. Perhaps a hashtag #EC2exploit or something better is needed? Harness the famous power of social media. Start making it clear, in a concise, specific a,d policte/civil way that Amazion needs to do something about this. They need to put in place a fast reporting system, one that can take the IP, timestamp and the nature of the complaint and have someone investigate the activity quickly. This can turn into a telephony botnet if they don't get the s**t together. The effect of proper action against the abuse goes further than just preventing individual attacks, it can help stop cvriminal networks from growing up. Use your own publishing power to to state your case out there: Your blog, Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, emails whatever weapons you have at hand to send Amazon a message. I'm a longtime Amazon customer for all their products including S3 and Cloudburst, I will write them about what I think. I suggest you all do the same. /r -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
