Nationwide Cyber Attack?
Permalink  

Over the past month we have been noticing some highly unusual cyber activity.

We have lost 2 computers, as well as several denials of service to popular web sites such as www.msn.com and also some very strange lagging going on.

While I have been fighing it down, re-setting our IP's and such it's very strange. The two computers we lost were at our business address, however the lagging and such seems to be on any computer we use.

Several online user accounts have been attemped to be hacked as we have had to re-set passwords on many of our accounts due to excessive amounts of failed log-ins.

Anyone else having any problems?

I heard there has been some push back from the cyber community lately over the attempted shutdown of Wikileaks. Today I read an article that the servers at Master Card were attacked because they stopped handling financial transactions for Wikileaks.

I dunno, I guess it's not a good Idea to come after a whistle blower... they tend to have lots of buddies with compuers.

Still the same thing... Hit and miss with MSN.COM

Sometimes when it does load half of the articles are missing. Very strange.

You having any problems loading the MSN.com website PowerStroker?
