-- -Why softlayer? -

First host that comes to mind who's customers/hacked-servers-whatever constantly pounding several fake forums/guestbooks that were setup to capture ip addresses of comment spammers leading to exploited sites elsewhere, that's why.

Is there any evidence that its sill happening there, the reason I ask is that I'm sure were not the only company there with servers running legitimate sites not involved in these types of activities at softlayer, also your post insinuated that shutting down softlayer would take care of the rest. From what I've read today these people operate out of many of the larger web hosting companies.
