Possibly. I don't know of anyone who's tried suing over a smurf attack. If I could afford the lawyer and the court time I'd do it myself. All we really need is one or two good cases to establish some case law; then the rest of us can have some legal precedent to point to and say "If you don't fix your networks, you're screwed." -dalvenjah -- Dalvenjah FoxFire (aka Sven Nielsen) "Thy wit is as quick as the greyhound's Founder, the DALnet IRC Network mouth - it catches." e-mail: dalvenjah () dal net WWW: http://www.dal.net/~dalvenjah/ whois: SN90 Try DALnet! http://www.dal.net/
