After last weeks spam run on Iraq, the US military and NIPC are concerned Iraq might be behind a rise in electronic attacks against government and military networks. The assessment said recent computer disruptions have included Web defacements, "denial of service" attacks that can disrupt or paralyze a network, and hacking "probes" and "scans" aimed at testing the vulnerability of a network. But the article also says less than 2% of the "attacks" resulted in a successful intrusion. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/17/technology/17HACK.html
