Chris R, exactly right.
gibson's figured the whole problem out and only required a little help from home.com and they ignore him:

I told Todd that after I had dissected a Zombie, I might be able to come up with a way for @home to scan their network to find all of them. It turns out that I have found a way, but again, Todd and @home couldn't be bothered. He declined all cooperation of any sort, curtly adding that they work with the FBI, and no one else. As we will see next, this is a policy in dire need of change. Nice as it sounds on the surface, the realities of Federal government involvement mean that most of the time Todd and @home . . . do nothing.

that's what steve gibson is trying to do... wake everyone up to get a more secure internet.
another crazy read is the windows xp threat:

basically win xp makes it easier to spoof (or fake) IPs, which is obviously trouble.
