DoubleClick Hit by DDoS Attack
YetAnotherName writes "The Washington Times is reporting that everyone's most beloved online advertising distributor, DoubleClick, was subject to a DoS attack crippling the company's DNS servers, and preventing up to 75% of advertising from making it to web pages and surfers' eyes."
what's the matter, Kerry, gone hoarse?
If opportunity came disguised as temptation, one knock would be enough.
3^2 * 67^1 * 977^1
Should have read:: "preventing up to 75% of advertising from making it to /dev/null"
HOORAY FOR ADBLOCK!
I gotta plug my favorite ad blocking software for windows: Admuncher http://www.admuncher.com
this thing is fucking great, its written in x86 assembler so the thing is literally kilobytes "large". Its extremely fast, faster than adblock, privoxy or any other similar program. And its comlpetely transparent, working on the kernel level. No fiddling with proxy settings and shit. it works on any internet connected program, not just browsers. And it blocked every form of advertisement known to man, not just popups.
install it for the 30 day trial, its incredible. I would pay triple the $25 registration fee for this program, and people who know me know I'm not one to pay for software. *cough*pirate*cough*
but this is some good shit
I just used up my last mod point about 10 minutes ago. If I had any points left I would mod the parent up. It really puts things into perspective.
