| | It was usual attack with idea to transfer mayor amounts of data at the same time in order to choke internet pipelines. Among the 13 computers handling UltraDNS service, computers of US Department of defense was targeted also. It was smart and well planned attack that was traced back to South Korea, but internet didn't suffer any mayor damage, that was testament to resilliance of internet. Woaha, we still have it!

Sounds interesting, from what i read on that link you gave it sounds like an attempted denial of service through bottlenecking and overloading the machines with too much data to handle. Ive always thought that if i was a hacker, a very good hacker, to cause a lot of damage i could do a denial of service attack on the DNS systems and bring the internet back to the stneage of typing in IP addresses. Its a promising sign though that the internet can cope with such attacks, im just waiting for america to claim it was an incitement to war or something...

Microsoft Claims They Can Pass The Acid 2 Test With Internet Explorer 8

Although this would go to the other forum I have to say this is shocking news in the browser wars
since right now only Opera can render the Acid test successfully. Right now firefox hasn't been
able to meet that success yet nor has IE 6 or IE 7, and so if the IE 8 teams claims are true then in
2008 IE could make a comeback in the web standards war and the browsers wars. I watch the video
briefly and I have a funny feeling though they have set up the code in such a way that it cheats the
acid test because they broke down the code to the acid test and then they menti...
