    Industry Self-Regulation
    Spamhaus’ primary role is to research and
    publish accurate information - specifically to
    enable ISPs to make decisions on what
    connections to their networks should be
    accepted, and to ensure end-user compliance
    with the ISP’s contractual requirements.
    Industry Self-Regulation

    Spamhaus is a member
    of the London Action Plan
    but is not a direct enforcer of
    legislation in any jurisdiction
    Industry Self-Regulation

    Spamhaus will willingly provide


    LEAs with any assistance they may
    request on technical matters, and
    any access they may need to our
    confidential research.
    Industry Self-Regulation

    Spamhaus holds a lot of information


    provided in confidence by
    Industry players - on the
    understanding that it can be made
    available to LEAs where needed.

    Spam is strongly linked with the
    “underground” cyber-economy

    Phishing is demonstrably a
    self-perpetuating activity.
    Spam will stop being a problem
    when it stops being profitable
    Spam will stop being a problem
    when it stops being profitable
    The most effective way to bring that about,
    is for networks - especially backbone
    networks - to act together to suppress the
    addresses where the spammers operate.
    Legislation and loss
    of revenue are cited as
    the reason why mostly
    does not happen.
    Governments
    - and industry bodies -
    need to formulate policies
    to reshape motivation.
    Trust and teamwork are essential
    here - the real sources of spam
    and the associated websites are
    often concealed.
    Trust and teamwork are essential
    here - the real sources of spam

    Industry specialists can trace these
    sources but Networks need to accept
    and act on their research.
    Co-operation?
    > We must try harder. Problems
    are getting more serious and
    harder to solve.
    > Balance between prevention
    of harm and the traditional
    freedoms of the ‘net
    Co-operation?
    > Governments are not empowered
    to solve these problems. They are
    looking to the industry to
    implement self-regulation.
    In many countries,
    current laws can pose
    a serious obstacle to
    industry co-operation.
    They create safe havens
    where spammers and
    cyber-criminals can
    operate anonymously.
    Action is needed
    NOW!
    Problems are getting more serious
    and harder to solve.
    Two major barriers
    to overcome -
    language and time-zones.
    Some sites do so
    much harm that immediate
    action is essential.
    China and Russia are still
    the most serious threat to
    World Cybersecurity
    Asian culture is to be
    helpful - but sometimes it
    is essential to say “NO”!
    Chinese companies
    are not good at ensuring
    compliance by middle
    management.
    Foreigners can get hosting
    in China to use as a platform for
    cyber-attacks, more easily than
    any other country.
    On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog!
    You and your reputation are based solely on
    what you do and say!
    If you ignore concerns from
    other networks and their
    users - or if they think you do -
    they will block traffic from your
    network or country.
    China’s new spam laws
    do not help address the
    problems that China is causing
    to other countries.
