Attack of the Profit-Killer Worms

Some of the stats in this article are appalling:

On any given day, between two and 12 per cent of all Internet traffic moving across ISP networks is malicious. Even on well-run networks with dedicated security departments, malicious traffic makes an average of five per cent of all data.

No wonder rates are going up! It's a wonder any of these poor bastards are still in business!

ISPs take it on the chin
