No need for a blacklist either, I don't believe there's been a single example of a malware using a purely DNS based C&C (e.g by utilizing TXT records) instead of using DNS to get the IP address for the C&C server. Of cours

This attack was hardly caused by the USMS, it was caused by terrible security practices.

Software equalizers can never replace hardware solutions. They might improve your experience (your mileage _will_ vary), but there's no way you'll get an iPhone to drive sennheisers HD800s while sounding even remotely acceptable.

And how is No-IP supposed to find these malware hosts? Seems to me like they'd have less capability to do so than an antivirus company that collects thousands if not millions of malware samples each day.
