All this social chaos that occurred yesterday because of a massive cyber-attack against one solitary blogger.
A "massively co-ordinated" attack on websites including Google, Facebook and Twitter was directed at one individual, it has been confirmed.
Now how do you like that one? An attack against a single blogger brings down Twitter, Live Journal and severely impairs Facebook for several hours. Makes me wonder what would happen if they (the hackers) actually got serious about things in future attacks.
Kirk,
Time to arrange for your old submarine to get on the internet?
KevanB – Now that would be one hell of a ride now wouldn’t it? Preventing hackers from doing any damage by attacking them with old Cold War submarines.
Don’t know if it would work but think about the technological breakthroughs we’d have just from the process of converting the old subs and their crews from reality to virtual (and hopefully back again?)
