The post discusses the responsibility of network owners in the face of persistent malicious traffic. According to the author, the inaction of network operators, despite repeated notifications, allows the persistence of attacks such as phishing, malware distribution, and DDoS. The author compares this situation to a manufacturer ignoring reports of product defects, leading to continuous injuries, and suggests that network owners should be held accountable for their negligence. For example, among the 10 most persistent attacking IP addresses, all are known to be malicious and aggressive, but their network operators allow these behaviors to persist despite constant abuse emails.
