cyber attacks

The big story behind this attack is the scope of it. The first company that was attacked basically provides a black list to other companies to block them from spamming them. Evidently the Cyberbunker company was upset about that they were on the list and they initiated this distributed denial of service attack. As the article says and as we'll discuss in her in further chapters thousands of computers are harnessed together to flood the website of the attacked company. The interesting thing about this is that a security company was hired by the attack company to help fix the problem. When that occurred the denial of service company attacked the security company. These are vicious and very destructive attacks and can have devastating economic effect on the companies. You may know that recently the North Koreans did a similar thing to the South Korean banking system.
