Well, there's the new botnet code of conduct think (Mike O'Reirdan can
chime in with more info here). Plus ISPs like the one I work at (Comcast)
have been doing bot notification and remediation for some time now. I know
other ISPs have different approaches, and so different bot programs, but
the majority of them are doing something (with a few exceptions).
