Just wondering why there hasn't been much mention of the recent DDoS' against a lot of the major sites on the web... Given the nature of the list, I would have expected _some_ mention, but I don't think I've seen a peep, which is very surprising! If you don't know what I'm talking about, then read: http://news.cnet/com/news/0-1005-200-1545456.html
almost all the press reports regarding the scope and effect of the attacks have been completely wrong. it looks like the usual problem of reporters quoting other reporters as sources and using rumor as fact. the articles that have been particularly wrong are those by the usually clue challenged folks at cnet, reuters, and ap. for example, the heresay about DateK was orignially misrepresented as a dDoS. as it was with the worm, there is going to be alot of misinformation until NSPs start the communication process.
