[asterisk-users] Why are the hackers scanning for these?

[Cary Fitch]

Adding on more thoughts:

Think what Google has done in Mapping the Earth, Mapping the Web, and now
working on Google Voice and Google Mail.

Every one of those makes money either directly and/or synergistically with
other components.

Now consider someone with "telephone" interests or spam interests.  In this
modern database and filtering and probing age, load in ARIN or RIPE IP
Ranges, start building database data and filters, and let it run...

And the other IP areas too.
