Per the above article,

Wanadoo and BT have both been hit by the blockade, according to sources
familiar with the situation, and early reports have claimed that Telefonica
and China Telecom are also hit.

If you look the amount of spam, trojans, etc. coming from these domains is
legend. Look into the conversations at net.admin.net-abuse.email and the
notices in net.admin.net-abuse.bulletins for details. The domains listed
in the article and their associated address ranges are, IIRC, block on
sight.

In short, they're protecting their network.

Protecting their website? Is this like cutting down all the trees to
prevent forest fires?

Sending spam is easy. Faking email addresses is easy. Hacking website
is an order of magnitude harder. Most hacks are done by "social
engineering" the DNS to a new address. One would thing for the
fvap.gov, this could be controlled.
