I got an e-mail from someone currently attending the Internet Governance
Forum (IGF) meeting in Geneva. The e-mail ended up in my spam folder
because the IP address used for the wireless LAN at the meeting is on a
spambot/virusbot blacklist, namely cbl.abuseat.org. Apparently some guy
there has his computer infected by a spambot or a virusbot.

Because the local host uses a NAT, all the computers share the same public
IP address. This means that all the attendees to the meeting risk seeing
their e-mails blacklisted somewhere.

Funny this comes from the very people who would like to set up strategies
to fight cybercrime...
