INTERNET UNDER ATTACK

Quote:

"The attack, dubbed Cross-Site Tracing (XST), involves a method whereby a programmable engine or common client side scripting language, such as JavaScript, accesses and obtains Web authentication credentials on a target system regardless of how well the information is stored and protected. This in turn can be used by a hacker to assume the identity of a victim on an array of sites ranging from Web mail, to online banking, to auction sites."

Huge text article documenting the attack.

We are monitoring massive Distributed Denial of Service attacks all over the U.S. tonight starting at around 11:30 PM CST. As many as 5 of the 13 root nameserver have been down, up to 10 with massive packet loss (xx%):

<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/01/25/internet.attack/index.html" target="_blank">CNN</a> is reporting on it, too.

:s I don't like the sounds of anything "virus".

Today was East Coast of the United States, and tomorrow the worm will be spreading all over Europe.
And it will be worse. :dead:

A hacker took out all the banks here. Was reported over 30 000 bank machines and interact machines down what a mess.

Well all my MySQL data went *poof*. I am still waiting for my database to be restored from a backup I sent to my host. I dunno if this is related or not...
