because they dont have all the newly evolving holes covered doesnt mean they dont have the situation under control.

They CAN'T cover those holes; it was a denial of service attack brought about through packeting. There is no way to defend against such an attack. All they can do is get the servers back up and running again as fast as possible, and track down the rat b*$t**d who took them down.

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.

Actually you can defend against DOS attack by controlling or redirecting the flow of packets. Its pretty simple...just have to catch it in time.
