Hackers.
It seems as though we are in the middle of a full fledged hacking attack from China as Zdnet and Wired have both reported on. Has anyone else noticed this? I was surfing through launch.com last night and hit several of these messages. I really didn’t think much about it until they hit my work site, :eek: causing me horrendous headaches tonight. *&%& :mad:
It seems that several American hackers had been defacing Chinese web sites and generally causing havoc with their servers. This in turn prompted Chinese hackers to start whacking at US servers. Most of the articles try to link the spy plane incident as the catalyst but as attrition.com points out these attacks were happening prior to the plane incident. It seems as if the media is portraying the American hackers as patriotic, even though several had previously defaced US and UK sites. Is this the beginning of the private citizens war against rival countries or will the US actually take action on these hackers that jab at China?
