We are in the colo business.  We start at half-cabinet and go upwards  
so it tends to be businesses with real sysadmins.  That helps, since  
it means hundreds of businesses and not millions of users.

which have been compromised and shut them down.  We use a lot of  
tools to analyze traffic, and usually take the compromised machine  
offline before we get abuse reports.
