You wouldn't possibly know where Muttly could get his hands on some Pingtungs, would you ?

Nah...what are the odds.

Actually, I might be able to do that, if I knew what they were. I am in Pingtung, as a matter of fact!

...uh...don't worry about what they are...just send me all you got.

They're utterly harmless...and of no value...trust me..no value.

I was getting pings from all over the East coast and Canada. I had to turn off the warnings because it was interrupting every 30 seconds. Wierd?????? They were net bios port scans, hundreds of them and for several days. Normally I only get a few per day.

Did some more seaching. I located the source as Sunwave.net in British Coumbia. Getting numerous pings from that area. I have no idea what the significance is.

Since the intifadda I get most of my craptraffic from UK and Spain. Seems the Moslems are more advanced there. I average a hack attack about once every 3 minutes at home at peak times down to one every 15 minutes on quiet news weeks. Seems to track the Political heat pretty well.It is not fun to have an IP number in the Israel block.

An unusually powerful electronic attack briefly crippled nine of the 13 computer servers...

Fox Shmox. . . it was NOT nine out of 13 !!!

It was actually 9 out of thirteen . . . but I'll try harder next time !!! ;-))

"Houston, it looks like we have a problem!"

The feds have set up a I-net group to counter the threat. I wish them luck. With all the DNS worms etc. and the hacking I am surprised we still have a net.

This attack is still in progress IMHO! The last four I got were from Great Britain, China, and Chech. they are searching for a opening to route traffic.

The web sites I get on or use frequently are notifiying me of changed addresses. (the only thing they can do to stay up I guess)
