My personal opinion on this is that the media is taking this little problem way too far. Maybe I am just not paranoid enough (I did however read the link in the article yesterday about this being the government performing these DOS attacks).
The facts about this are that some large sites get taken down for a few hours, the world panics, the media panics, the average citizen panics, legislation gets passed to allow the government to interfere in our lives. Maybe I AM paranoid, but the above link seems to make me a little wary (as if I wasn't wary enough already) of the government.
Final notes on this....:
Overated
Overdone Media
Government sponsered (just speculation)
I just get sick and tired of all the friggin media coverage at 12:30 AM when I just want to find Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon Network.... Not to mention that now whenever I go to ANY channel all I hear about is the airplane crash (tragic) and the DOS attacks (or hackers as 99.9% of the news shows call it) Yhcrana
Seems odd how the world today is embroiled in lawsuit after lawsuit. There is no real solution anymore on anything other than to sue other party involved and hope for the best.
:sigh: Oh well at least someone got the idea finally.
