- bootload 18y ago"... Could also be called 'How I became a Russian script kiddie' ..." You are taking the reports at face value. Behind the amateurish attacks on websites is a serious military backed hacking effort. Network centric warfare is vulnerable to disruption. The script-kiddie stuff is a cover. - http://www.janes.com/media/releases/pc080812_2.shtml http://www.janes.com/media/releases/pc080812_2.shtml - http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/A-Year-of-CyberAttacks-Georgia-Not-First-and-Wont-be-Last-to-Fall-Victim-to-Hackers/?kc=rss http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/A-Year-of-CyberAttacks-Geo...
- icey 18y agoSure, but I'm not talking about the actual attacks. I'm talking about the fact that Slate saw fit to post the fact that some guy is essentially loading a bunch of web pages and styling himself as some kind of hacking-vigilante. It's silly, and makes me sad for how far the quality on Slate has declined.
