Bulletproof Service Providers
From Brian Krebs:
Hacked and malicious sites designed to steal data from unsuspecting users via malware and phishing are a dime a dozen, often located in the United States, and are a key target for takedown by ISPs and security researchers. But when online miscreants seek stability in their Web projects, they often turn to so-called “bulletproof hosting” providers, mini-ISPs that specialize in offering services that are largely immune from takedown requests and pressure from Western law enforcement agencies.

I’m not concerned about spammers and hackers – governments are the biggest problem these days. With sites like WikiLeaks being attacked, we need these supposed bulletproof hosts to become more available and cheap. It wouldn’t hurt if they were considered more legitimate too. In fact, the linked article could be seen by conspiracy theorists as an attempt to make these hosting providers look less legitimate.
