Over at Yahoo (
http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20090710/ap_on_hi_te/as_skorea_cyber_attack ) they are reporting that there are only 86 IP addresses causing the outages:
"SEOUL, South Korea -
Cyber attacks that caused a wave of Web site outages in the U.S. and South Korea
used 86 IP addresses in 16 countries, South Korea's spy agency told lawmakers
Friday, amid suspicions North Korea was behind the effort."
Now, I'm a little skeptical that they didn't mean
ISP instead of
IP, but if it is true that there are only 86 hosts generating this much fanfare, then the network admins should be strung up with cat6 for not just blackholing these punks at the edge router. I guess we get the best govt. IT we can afford, right?
