I've been keeping an eye on my network, bit have not seen any real
change or increase in the types of traffic and alerts I normally
see...  The reality of the situation is that these folks are
extremely well trained and motivated.  They could not have done what
they did without a certain level of intelligence that we in the
computing security world should be wary of.  I would not take
anything for granted right now...

Subject: Terroristic attacks today


Has anyone seen, or does anyone anticipate any security threats on
the
Internet or Internet-based attacks on any given targets in connection
with this mornings terroristic attacks on the World Trade Center and
the
Pentagon?

I hadn't considered the possibility, assuming that parties that would
fly planes into buildings aren't likely to be interested in writing
viruses. We did have one customer voluntarily disable their Internet
connection for the next 24-hours out of concern for "viruses". They
said
something about a warning from the FBI. The FBI's website is
apparantly
unreachable (or overloaded) at the moment.
