The good news may only last week - at best.
I use Windows and the Microsoft Edge Browser.
A week ago, my Microsoft Bing Maps home page suddenly changed from my home town - Seattle - to Cambridge, MA, home of Harvard and MIT.
No matter what I do on various settings pages, it either will not change from Cambridge to Seattle, or else it goes to Seattle for one or two clicks, then reverts to Cambridge again.
I do not even want to think about how many teenage hackers are currently living in Cambridge, MA.
Rather than sending the requests off to /dev/null, wouldn't it be at least somewhat helpful if microsloth would attempt to contact owners of computers that are making calls to these botnets to let them know they are powned?
