How exactly would being transparent for the following help Internet security:
"I am seeing a new malware infection vector via port 91714 coming from the IP
range of 32.0.0.0/8 that installs a rootkit after visiting the web page
http://www.trythisoutnow.com/. In addition, it has credit card and pswd
stealing capabilities and sends the details to a maildrop at
trythisout...@gmail.com"
The only upside of being transparent is alerting the miscreant to change the
vector and maildrop.
I disagree. *All* of that information would be useful for configuring
filters at my border.
