http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A18735-2004Jul27.html DoubleClick spokeswoman Jennifer Blum said the attack targeted the company's domain name servers (DNS) -- machines that help direct Internet traffic -- causing "severe service disruptions" for all 900 of its customers. Blum said the outage was caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, in which hackers use the firepower of thousands of hijacked computers to flood a Web site with so many bogus Web page requests that it renders the site unavailable to legitimate users. [...] The FBI is not investigating the incident because DoubleClick has not filed a report, said bureau spokeswoman Megan Baroska.
