I'd welcome comments as to solutions to this. Or is it just scaremongering?

Botnets buying up IPv4 address space
http://j.mp/nMJ5Lr (Threat Post)
"Now, in one effort to get around these systems, some attackers are
taking advantage of the lack of IPV4 space by either purchasing or
renting blocks of IP space with good reputations that have been built
up over the course of several years. A number of legitimate trading
and auction sites have appeared as the IPV4 space became scarcer, and
the attackers have gotten involved as well, getting their hands on
known good IP blocks and using them for C&C or hosting malware."
