Is there an effort abound that would allow for lists of verified 'Code Red 2' infected hosts to be reported for cleanup/mitigation? By known 'Code Red 2' infected hosts, I mean that root.exe has been found to exist on the host.
Finding the contact information for a lot of these is proving difficult being that a fair amount of the infected machines are Joe Blow broadband customers.
Publishing such lists is IMHO not a good idea, as these hosts are vulnerable and publishing their addresses would only serve to let more crackers know where to go..
