Below is a periodic public report from the drone armies / botnets
research and mitigation mailing list.
For this report it should be noted that we base our analysis on the data
we have accumulated from various sources.

According to our incomplete analysis of information we have thus far, we
now publish two reports.


The ISP's that are most often plagued with botnet C&C's (command &
control) are, by the order listed:

  to the efforts of KrCERT.
