The Pakistan Telecommunications Company Ltd has aquired a firewall to solve the DDOS situation impacting Internet service in the country. An unnamed security advisor asserted the proper use of a firewall would control the DDOS attacks and prevent hacking. I can understand the Pakistan government minister's frustration, and desire to get things fixed. Unfortunately, it seems like security incidents also attract security snake oil consultants. Buy my tonic to cure your ills.
I know we're all entertained by this quite unbelievable situation but is anyone actually helping these folks out? Someone on here must have a link to the Telecoms company concerned and theres plenty folks on here who can help get this cleaned up nice and quick.. ? Perhaps anyone with a contact over there should make themselves known and solicit for a helpful techie (to respond offlist, I dont want flaming for starting a consulting agency here :) Steve
