Botnet takedowns are occurring more frequently as time goes on. Some are done in conjunction with criminal or civil legal action, but many more are done by private sector actors using only technical means. Most are viewed as failures in one way or another, regardless of the actual goals of the action in the first place. More and more, aggressive responses come with some manner of collateral damage. This talk covers some of the issues regarding these takedowns and seeks feedback from the NANOG membership about how the service provider stakeholder population (and their customer base) can best be represented in these takedowns.
