I'm fond of getting the issues addressed by getting the ISPs to be involved
with the problem. If that means users get charged "clean up" fees instead
of a "security" fee, that's fine.
ISPs remain in the unique position of being able to identify the customer,
the machine, and to verify the traffic. It can be done.
