FCC Chair Calls On ISPs To Adopt New Security Measures

alphadogg writes "U.S. Internet service providers should take new steps to protect subscribers against cyber attacks, including notifying customers when their computers are compromised, the chairman of the FCC said Wednesday. Julius Genachowski called on ISPs to notify subscribers whose computers are infected with malware and tied to a botnet and to develop a code of conduct to combat botnets. Genachowski also called on ISPs to adopt secure routing standards to protect against Internet Protocol hijacking and to implement DNSSEC, a suite of security tools for the Internet's Domain Name System."

I commend you patience. The last one I got went like this -

*ring ring*
(indian voice)"Hello sir, Microsoft has been doing a survey of your area and"
"No they haven't"
"yes they have, and we have found a higher than normal incidence of viruses in your area"
"No, they haven't, you're a liar"
"No sir I am not lying. Our records show that you have a computer attached to the internet"
"Right, you've got me out of bed at 9am on a saturday and lied to me three times in the course of ten seconds. F*CK OFF AND DIE YOU EVIL SCAMMER, I HOPE YOUR WHOLE FAMILY DIES IN PAIN" *hangup*

I'm not very friendly if you get me out of bed in the morning at the weekend. In retrospect that may have been overly nasty.

I should never drink and comment. Hell, last night I played my harmonica and it registered a .23

Good Luck With That
