[ NNSquad ] Botnets buying up IPv4 address space


Botnets buying up IPv4 address space

http://j.mp/nMJ5Lr  (Threat Post)

    "Now, in one effort to get around these systems, some attackers are
     taking advantage of the lack of IPV4 space by either purchasing or
     renting blocks of IP space with good reputations that have been built
     up over the course of several years. A number of legitimate trading
     and auction sites have appeared as the IPV4 space became scarcer, and
     the attackers have gotten involved as well, getting their hands on
     known good IP blocks and using them for C&C or hosting malware."
