Was reading through the news and came across this one.

By Jon Swartz, USA TODAY Website attacks are increasing in frequency and ferocity, hammering DVD sales and disrupting online payment services. Called "distributed denial of service attacks" (DDOS), they bombard sites with so much data that legitimate traffic can't get through. They've been around for years. But they're now more powerful, and they're taking down more than just intended targets. In recent incidents, companies providing Web-hosting services for victims - as well as hundreds of their customers - have been caught in the cross-hairs, creating a wave of collateral damage.

Anything for people with too much time and no sense of morals, it's getting crazier every day.

Not necessarily Russian - people have been doing it from China, the Middle East, the US, all over the world.

Of course it's stupid, but script kiddies aren't known for their great intellects - that's why they're just script kiddies. Wink

Still, while I may not be making as much money as them, I don't have to worry about getting caught and then raped in jail Wink

Eh, DDos. Personally, it's stupid. If you're going to do something, why not do something that's less likely to put you in jail? I mean, I don't have a problem with Bubba, but when I become his little toy... No thanks.
