[ale] AT&T Broadband blocking inbound http?

[SAngell at nan.net]

I wonder at what point we will begin to hear talk of liabilities being imposed
on those individuals who refuse to perform maintenance on the machines that are
still left un-patched. Although finding them is not an easy task. Of all the
hundereds of hits I have received over the last several days, 5 resolved to a
hostname that could be identified. The rest were invalid or so generic in their
name as to render the info pretty much useless.

Slashdot was commenting about this, too, taking the general view that
Code Red infected users should be sanctioned directly rather than
sanctioning the entire customer base.  Of course, sanctioning the entire
customer base has infinitely less administrative overhead.

Im preparing to move my http to port 81 in case Road Runner makes a
similar decision.
