Virus Hammered Sco?
#1
Looks like it to me, they have been down for a few hours, either that or they took their boxes down, either way they got hosed. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of ********.

LMFAO! Ain't that a bitch... Which proves that no matter how much anti-virus and firewall software you have... You'll always have that one *** hole who downloads the attachment in the email from the person he doesn't know.

Well, no not exactly, it's a DDOS flood attack so really there isn't a whole of options, we have a service called "FloodGuard" on our server, which is a system that attempts to filter bogus traffic at the router so it doesn't down the server.

I don't know about all that spam guard jazz... But I do know at my office we have Corporate Norton Firewall 2004, Sygate Firewall (very nice FW!), and the Firewalls built into the routers and we don't have any problems with attacks. Although the network administrator I work with is one of the best I've ever met, and I'm sure he's done some tweaking... Used to work for Corporate Bank of America, Sun Microsystems, etc. I just do the web stuff.
PS: For anyone administrating a network; VNC, Netview (work together), and LANguard are three VERY beautiful programs.

Again, they are two separate things, I virus and a Flood Attack/DDOS are not even close to the same thing.
The DDOS floods the router with as much junk as possible, hopefully downing the router and ultimately the network.
