The security firms suggested possible fixes for the problem, such as authorities passing regulations that would make each computer owner responsible for the always-on connection, or for Internet service providers to keep an eye on customers who seem to be consuming too much bandwidth.

I say to Robert isp's should bare the brunt because we customers are paying for a service that should be safe from things like this.But you must also make sure you are protected online as much as possible.And there again what do you do about stupid people on A.O.L the biggest bandwith hogger in the world how do you control that ????
