There are other people on here, including in this thread and reading this thread, who are in a similar position, but who are staying completely calm because they saw this coming and were prepared for it.

This was going to happen, sooner or later, and we're actually relieved that it happened sooner and we can deal with it, now. There were some clients and relays who had a lackadaisical attitude toward spam-prevention, who just got caught with their pants down. That hurts all of us, but it's on them. They now have a chance to clean up and improve, before we have millions of people on here and such a circus makes the front page news. Or they can give up and make room for better engineers.

Effective risk mitigation is part of the job.
