[gnso-ff-pdp-may08] Cost of attacks (and proportion attributable to Fast Flux)

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

And now, for something completely different...

As the final buffing continues on the definition, how about some new topics?

Following up on a comment in the last phone call, here's a 2007 
Gartner press release that puts the estimated losses from phishing 
attacks at $3.2 billion;

Questions;

-- Are there other cost numbers that we could use to express the 
financial size of the *overall* problem?  (Dave pointed out that it's 
not just phishing, and it's not just outright financial losses that 
we should include, so let's expand on this a bit)
-- Given our definition, is there data can we use to assign a 
proportion of the overall problem to Fast Flux?   (That seems to be a 
path towards apportioning "harm")
-- Is there a way to project the trend in that "proportion" data?

Have at it,
