Because there are a slew of ISP’s providing homes to criminals, seemingly without giving a hoot about the victims being affected by their customers, I thought I’d try a name and shame approach, and to start it off, I thought we’d name and shame German ISP, NetDirekt.

NetDirekt have a well known and well publicized reputation as far as criminal activities go, due to their long standing housing of the well known Internet Service Team (commonly referred to as the IST).

The IST, amongst others, are just some of the folks behind the Google, Bing and Yahoo etc etc, blackhat SEO campaigns, that lead unsuspecting folks to fake malware and more recently, the likes of the Koobface exploit.
