ISPs asked to cut off malware-infected PCs

,----[ Quote ]
| The Internet Industry Association (IIA) has drafted a new code of conduct
| that suggests Internet Service Providers (ISPs) contact, and in some cases
| disconnect, customers that have malware-infected computers.
| The drafted code, which will not be mandatory, suggested ISPs take a four-
| step approach to protecting customers.
| Identification of compromised computers
| Contact affected customer
| Provision of information and advice to fix the compromised system; and
| A reporting function for alerting about serious scale threats, such as those,
| that may threaten national security.
