Decepticons Are NOT Attacking the .US Registry

An Anonymous Coward writes "According to this story in the Washington Post, NeuLevel, the operator of DotUS and DotBiz, has issued a clarification that the Decepticon transformers were *not* attacking their webservers, despite their previous claims to the contrary." It's good to know that .us is in such good hands.

  1. Transformer video game?? by eugene+ts+wong · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Gary Osbourne, a computer programmer in Vancouver, Canada who stumbled upon the misconfigured site
    Wednesday, posted a message at the ICANNwatch.org site about the incident, noting that Prowl and the
    Decepticons are characters from the "Transformers" computer games and line of Hasbro toys.
    I'm sure that a lot of people are aware of the video game, but more of them should be aware of the comic and show. It would be like saying, "...Prowl and the Decepticons are pictures on a t-shirt that this guy in my city wears". It just seems so out of perspective. No mention of the tv show?? No mention of the comic???

    Not trying to rant or troll or anything. It just makes me kind of laugh. That's all.
