anzha's Journal: The NY Times Notices the Hacker...

This guy is the hacker we've been so fraking nervous about. He's heen eating supercomputing sites for some time now. We held him off. However, all it would have taken was a single oops and he'd have eaten us too. Well, iirc, I warned people hear he was loose and to patch! patch! patch! I also seemed to remember saying I was surprised that the mainstream media hadn't said anything...well, it seems that the NY Times finally caught on to what was going on. Sorta. Their story is only a small part of the real story.

Edit: PS. The /. story (that I missed) had it rather wrong. The cracks had nada to do with the Cisco code and the story only scratches the very, very surface of what happened. This cracker was bad for HPC sites.
