The FBI has announced they are taking down (zombie) names and numbers in order to clean up the American cyberspace:

Today the Department of Justice and FBI announced the results of an ongoing cyber crime initiative to disrupt and dismantle “botherders� and elevate the public’s cyber security awareness of botnets. OPERATION BOT ROAST is a national initiative and ongoing investigations have identified over 1 million victim computer IP addresses.

Here’s a bit of irony, perhaps intentional.

The FBI also wants to thank our industry partners, such as the Microsoft Corporation and the Botnet Task Force, in referring criminal botnet activity to law enforcement.

Does someone at the FBI have a sense of humor?
