Security experts say Storm's death knell was sounded by the recent shutdown of Atrivo, a California based ISP that was home to a number of criminal cyber crime operations, including at least three of the master servers used to control the Storm network." }-Brian Krebs (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/10/atrivo_shutdown_hastened_demis.html)
