Spamhaus Statistics of Cybercrime
Spamhaus has released research targeting cyber-crime within the 2014 calendar year. Evidence of increased pernicious botnet behavior attributed to these master/slave systems is the research report's message. Interestingly, Spamhaus has said "Because these IP addresses host no legitimate services or activities, they can be blocked (blackholed) on an ISP's or company's network without the fear of affecting legitimate traffic."
