This already happens in the Netherlands, your router will be put in quarantine mode and you have to prove that the "virus" is gone This happened to me, at the time I thought it was strange but seeing this event happen it makes a lot more sense now
was router not provided by your own isp?
This is what I don't get >The Aisuru DDoS botnet operates as a DDoS-for-hire service with restricted clientele; operators have reportedly implemented preventive measures to avoid attacking governmental, law enforcement, military, and other national security properties. Most observed Aisuru attacks to date appear to be related to online gaming. https://www.netscout.com/blog/asert/asert-threat-summary-ais... So why? Li…

When the deed is illegal in both places, they can be tried under either jurisdiction and convicted instead of continuing to roam free and fuck up the open web for everyone else. Yes I do think we'd want that Borders currently get in the way but we needn't have law enforcement on foreign soil to solve that. Exchanging information and reliably acting upon it could be all these agencies need to do in their respective co…
