Yes, and I have no problem with this in theory, I just wish that some of th=
e larger ones could proactively monitor their networks to avoid crushing th=
e smaller ones but maybe this is intentional.
I have seen a huge increase in the number of attacks originating from other=
"hosting" companies recently. Previously it had mainly been cable modems, =
etc.
It must be much easier to just target IaaS providers to build botnets becau=
se each machine there has 1Gbps than to worry about collecting 100 10Mbps c=
able modem customers.
