I'd be curious to know if a particular application-level vulnerability was used in this event. There has been several vulnerabilities of late related to Java/Apache/PHP such as the hash-collision vulnerability with exploit code here http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/51193/info that has demonstrated to be very effective - so much so that a single host can bring down a relatively large site by exhausting CPU on the web server.... does anyone know the particulars of this event??
