Re: Bloated & Unwieldy.... Hackers compromise at&t's entire IPTV network During Superbowl
As the Eagles were driving to hopefully tie Cinci's 35-28 lead, everyone on at&t's U-Verse suddenly were watching the cartoon channel. Customers couldn't change the channel. A few moments later, the shopping channel appeared.
As the Eagles tied the game, customers flooded at&t with calls. As customers waited on hold, even their DSL crashed. Suddenly, from no where, blue screens were on all TVs. Microsoft runtime error 69696.oex4bc. All the boxes rebooted and the game thus reappeared and some guy named Chin posted a note on a bulletin board that he had broken in. Modems had to be recycled and computers rebooted, but the Superbowl was over: Cincinnati had won! 41-35 on a botched Eagles onside kick!
One IPTV customer said, "At least the hacker struck after the waldrobe malfunction at halftime. I couldn't get tech support. The hold time was estimated at 3 hours and 45 mins. I called Dish."
Stores in the IPTV areas sold out their DirecTV and Dish Network kits in one hour the next day. Cable companies worked round the clock to set customers up.
Videos of the event piled up on Google's YouTube. Chin, the hacker, posted a 25-minute video of the Superbowl's final nerve-wracking minutes and it was viewed nearly 1.2 million times. 100,000 or more comments bashed at&t and Microsoft.
And, so went the fortunes of at&t U-Verse. Fiber to the Home was now T's buzzword! |

Now for an excerpt from the next story of how US Broadband will be #1 :
"... the rabid DSLr's stormed into the conference, armed heavily with a large gattling gun (loaded with copper bullets, made of abundunt copper right off the poles) and screamed "MAY THE LOBBYISTS BE DAMNED"... |
