 | How should ISPs combat the inevitable malicious traffic? 1) Block traffic on certain ports on the ISP network, as well as to/from peer/upstream networks
Would people fret if ISPs blocked ports 135,138,139,445,1026 and the other Microsoft vulnerable ports I am forgetting? Something tells me measures like this would get lost in "traffic shaping/restriction" debates without ever exploring the security value. Port 25 restrictions?
2) Educate their subscribers on safe browsing habits?
HAHAHA!
3) Sell/give away security software such as Norton/McAfee/F-Secure/etc
HAHAHA! |
