Re: The motive for the attack on the root servers was unclear

Suspected - maybe because one of the sites was DoD run.
Since it was traced back to South Korea, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's an anti-US attack, however, as the US (and the G-8 countries in general) are _very_ Internet dependent, then it would have some credibility. '.org' isn't the huge commercial suffix to hit.. '.com' is.

Yes, an anti-US motive can be suspected because of the attacks main victims. Even if there is no proof yet.

Bots have been a real threat for many company's something should be done to stop it at the source.

They need a way to trace the DOS attack and temporarily cease the attack blocking ports or IP ranges what ever is necessary in real time not after the fact.
