Hi Team,

FYI - Two prefixes from the DNS Changer/Rover Digital take down have =
been re-allocated. One of the prefixes - 85.255.112.0/20 - was =
advertised Friday morning. There is a blog post with some of the details =
here:

"Beware! DNS Changer=92s IP Blocks are re-allocated and advertised!" - =
http://www.senki.org/archives/930

A general feeling of surprise summarizes several of the behind the =
scenes security conversation. A general recommendation of "be careful of =
the traffic going to and from these netblocks" is the best advice at =
this time.=20

Barry
