When are we going to start treating attacks on vital internet components and systems seriously.
If a rogue state fired off missiles at a US communication satellite we certainly wouldn't be just investigating.
I say it's time to get wetworks something to do. These attackers have real lives. You don't even have to take them out. Just cut off their hands and gouge out their eyes and their ability to attack the internet falls drastically. |

Nobody really thinks there are actually only 13 root servers, right?

Heck with most of these people if you just had some security force show up (like the FBI in the USA) and start asking question it would scare them enough to stop the attacks. |

...and that's just what they publicly admit to. |

Are you serious? By your use of the word crack I assume that is the drug you are taking. Some 13 year old kid could write a DoS script with text and linux and do much the same thing. So we need to "gouge out their eyes" good grief. And what exactly stops happening if the internet goes down, which to my knowledge has never happened, and theoretically is impossible. The internet isn't one entity, it's millions, if not billions of inter-connected systems. So what exactly are these terrible people going to break -- porn surfing for a few hours? It hardly seems earth shattering. |
