What kind of solution is it to block one IP address?

  My thinking exactly. It seems like it would have been a much better solution to get law enforcement involved, since there was a decent chance of getting the pirates to attack whatever ship you wanted by planting (bogus) info about valuable cargo on it. The "solution" they used instead seems like it will last about as long as it takes to get a new IP address.

  There is that. You're likely to get the same IP for a long time on residential broadband though. it did say > connecting directly from their home system > [blocking] ending the targeted attacks But then again, maybe it was a proxy through a compromised system. All said, though, this could just be a nonsense fluff piece promoting Verizon, ars just links to their PR page when it implies you will get a detailed report.
