very true. like i said to froggy earlier, luckily this anticipated wave of activity is hot on the heels of the early may, 2001, wave of defacements and attacks. its fresh in peoples' minds. not that that makes much of a difference, i think that people are securing in completely assinine ways (in a nutshell, people are too lazy/dumb/afraid to do whats truly needed, which is a massive reevaluation and adoption of decent technology). the infrastructure of our worldly Internet is ripe for the picking. the only reason it works even remotely is because the people who could do some real damage just haven't been bothered to do so. *shrug* bring 'em on, i say. maybe, just maybe we'll learn a lesson or two. i doubt it though. </cynicism> ____________________________ jose nazario jose () cwru edu PGP: 89 B0 81 DA 5B FD 7E 00 99 C3 B2 CD 48 A0 07 80 PGP key ID 0xFD37F4E5 (pgp.mit.edu)
