Oh for the love of god, 15 web sites get defaced and it's suddenly worth
trying to deny internet access to a billion people?

They watch a story on the news, and think "wouldn't it be kewl if...". Any
excuse or boredom will do, and then the media blows it out of proportion
because it makes for an interesting story. I bet it's probably the same
number of hacks that you'd see on a normal day, just against another
country's www..gov's instead of their own.
