I'd vote for a WG focussing on these things. IIRC there have been plans on a RIPE-Security WG around RIPE-29 or 30. If there's a bigger interest on this topics what about a Security-BOF next RIPE? In general, net-abuse has become one of the major problems these days, included but not limited to attacks, scans, mailbombs, a.s.o.
Ahh now if we called it a RIPE-Security WG then that could encompass the whole lot and would IMO be a fine idea.
As a side note, does anybody use anything to prevent address spoofing in their network? That would at prevent a lot of attacks completly and make tracing the rest much easier.
