ns.com/server-location.html) whose host i=
s located in Austria: 171.66.18.10 resolved by scotiaonline.scotiabank.comp=
an.for-some.biz=A0=20

I suspect this is a VPS, in an organisation similar to bitfolk, with a viru=
s.

Which leads me to ask some questions of this list:

1) Do I have a duty in law to maintain a phishbot-virus-free VPS?

2) Can a mandamus order shut down an innocent VPS owner whose server hosts =

3) Has a bitfolk VPS owner ever been targetted by phishbots?=A0 If so, what=
were the symptoms and what were the ramifications?

Cheers!
