Why don't the stupid users run their own fucking virus scans. What a fucking moron you are. Blame the ISP because you are too fucking lazy to take responsibility for yourself. Typical kid...

Just thought I'd post this as a little info for those that don't seem to understand this has nothing to do with email or ISP's. The attacks are coming from what is known as a "Botnet"

http://swatit.org/bots/gallery.html

They're usually controlled through IRC, many of the bot programs are not picked up by Norton, Mcaffee or any of the other virus programs, because they are not Virii. The above URL has quite a few screenshots of various IRC channels used to control the networks. The main source of the "infections" is IRC and Kazaa. You download a small program that appears to be a crack for a game or something, it gives an error, you delete it and go on your way, and now you're an unknowing pawn being used in DDOS attacks. Each "botnet" can grow to an enormous size very quickly and do serious damage.

As someone else mentioned, DALnet was brought to it's knees for months by people using these things. They are virtually unstoppable. It's not a wise idea to keep taunting this guy, if he's real, until Lensman and the hosting companies can track him down.

Lens already has his info, i'm sure there's a couple goons on their way to israel right now

also, that idiot kid wants to see you guys say he succeeded. Don't give him gratification for what he did.

I hope they're bringing cameras :glugglug

I pointed out the DDOS aspect in a post yesterday but it's really just semantics :) The important thing is that I can wake up and get my GFY fix.

I checked this with 2 english professors and a dictionary, the plural of Virus is infact Viruses. It should be Virii but it isn't god damn it.

it is in the computer world.
