"~ WE WERE UNDER ATTACK ~
At approximately 8:00 PM Pacific Time, a concerted Distributed
Denial of Service (DDoS) attack was initiated against us. The attack
was trivial to block once we made contact with our ISP � but that
took 17 hours! I am preparing a complete analysis and report on
the attack � including the complete IP list of machines which have
had their security compromised for participtation in the attack.
It will be online as soon as possible! "
An interesting article on "Information War" used to be up at
the following site, but it looks like they locked it down:
