I think this sort of thing lends some weight to my arguement for network administrators to use ACLs to prevent spoofed packets leaving their networks. I hope the media attention will prompt some action. Due to the use of CIDR it shouldn't be too hard to do! Another thought: If the Feds trace these attacks back to their true source and the source addresses were spoofed can the ISP be sued by the victim for allowing spoofed packets originate from their network? Whats the legal term for this? Lack of due diligence?

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 and http://cnnfn.com/2000/02/08/technology/yahoo/ Seems that this could get very serious before it gets much better...
