The Sky Ain't Falling
Today's Bleat mentions the hostingmatters DOS attack:
[...]A large portion of the blogworld has been crippled by attacks on the company that hosted a pro-Israel website, and the attacks are coming from servers that host Al Qaeda groups. This makes me uneasy; there's something else going on here, I think. It's like hearing reports from Alaska radar stations of peculiar blips on the screen. Someone's testing something.
Now, I considered a posting yesterday in which I referred to the hackers as "pig-fuckers," which means that Lileks & I are thinking much the same thing. However, I'm not as nervous as he is. Unlike the radar blip in Alaska, a remote outpost in a '50's sci fi movie, this is obviously aimed directly at the pro-Israeli site. This is the invasion, not a precursor.
Whoop te doo.
Pig-fuckers.
