Many still just hide behind all the background/foreground noise.  It takes
effort and familiarity of the logging system<s> to try and catch the
bad-boys, and as has been mentioned in this and other realted threads,
many admns do not even know where their logs are, let alone how to
interpret what's detailed within.

Of course, the local infragard sent out a daily update, mentioned the
Phatbot arrest and it's realtion to the trade in botnets, which are a fine
way to cover tracks as well.

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
