Windows of mass destruction
,----[ Quote ]
| For most of this week, prominent Web sites in both South Korea and the United
| States have been being bombarded by DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service)
| attacks. At times, these assaults have knocked out multiple major sites.
| North Korea has been taking the blame for these attacks, but no one has any
| proof yet. What we do know is that the weapon that's doing this damage is
| compromised Windows PCs.
