Comment on Cracking Down on Botnets

Comments

"a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order cutting off 277 Internet domains believed to be run by criminals as the Waledac bot"

I would expect most botnet domains are hosted in a country with lax cyber laws.

Update: Researched a little further, ICANN owns the DNS root zone and is run in the US, does the US really have the authority to cut off pieces of the internet? WTF? I really hope I'm missing something.
