Has anyone heard if sites overseas are being hacked or are just US sites being targeted?

--no I haven't and that's a very good question, too. hmmmm, got barbecue J saying on the toob that they think it's coming from "overseas". Now if it was a government, a pre war move, I don't think they'd tip their hand like that, it'd be all at once, massive, everything they had. if it's just a test it's stoopid, just KNOWING they could do it would be enough. So, I dunno, it's weird, though..here's my theory so far, it's a 12 year old kid wants a job at No Such Agency, and this is his resume.

Problems are originating either from John Deutsch's laptop computer, or from Mr. Kim Wong Fong's terminal in Los Alamos.

This one will turn out to be a group of young programmers. These sorts of attacks are like toilet papering the shrubs in front of someones house.They do indicate that the people responsible for routers and firewalls need a serious *ss-whupin' though.
