Submission + - China game boss sniped rivals, took down Internet (networkworld.com)

carusoj writes: "An attack by a Chinese online game provider meant to cripple the servers of its rivals ballooned to cause an Internet outage in much of the country in May, according to police. The escalation began with a distributed denial-of-service attack on a domain registrar that serves many small gaming companies. While the national scale of the effects was unusual, such attacks are common among some small Internet businesses competing to draw customers in China, security researchers say. Police have arrested four people involved in the attack."

While in college I came back to my shoddy little converted apartment after being away for a couple weeks to find a massive storm had "carpeted" my studio in mud and the numbers on my alarm clock were moving. Not a flashback... I found an entire colony of ants, queen and all seeking refuge in my alarm clock. Is it that they are attracted to electronics or simply the fact that there is a cord running to an outlet which leads to a wall cavity/earth accessible area of the structure?
