Internet meltdown predicted for tomorrow
 

sorry if this has been posted:

"A RUSSIAN computer security expert has predicted that a large chunk of the Internet will be shut down by terrorists tomorrow.
Aleksandr Gostev from Kaspersky Labs was speaking at a conference hosted by Russian Information Agency Novosti. The cyber terrorists main targets will be the US and Western Europe, he said.

Gostev said that the information on the attack could be found on "specialist web sites" although at the time of going to press the INQ couldn?t find them.

The story first appeared on the Lenta.ru web agency and might be as valid as this this one, however we are hedging our bets and buying in extra cans of beans. µ"

doubtful

blame it on Bush

Usually kaspersky know what the fuck they're talking about. I've been using AVP since 1998!

yeah cause america owns the internet :glugglug

So its the terrorists that hacked into cisco and stole the code!

Nevermind

they are going after porn sites... thats what most people surf for anyway...

BS...the man power required to bring down all the fiber-optics and the hubs and DNS Servers would be..well..huge...

There are only 7 DNS servers afaik.

Finally,
i really need a day off...

im sure that Nostradamus predicted that the world was going to end in 2001 in another book

then this book

just a joke what people do to make money

there are a total of 13 root-nameservers worldwide. :warning

did they hide the websites

"the websites exist but we cant find them"

sounds like a bush quote

I doubt Nostradamus was trying to make $$ from his failed prophecies.

Not really... you could take out a couple of core routers and that would fuck it all up...what if they killed the pipe which goes across the ocean, from NA to Europe?

:sleep :sleep :sleep

I have been hearing stories about the sky falling with the Internet for years, February 14th 1997 being the last time someone predicted the end was near for the internet and it was a non-event.

Next story will be about CrimethInc and his call to attack the RNC servers all next week.

Its all a bunch of bullshit. :thumbsup :1orglaugh

Time will tell but I really doubt it.

I think it's happening, many sites are down or slow.

You need to add me to your ICQ!!! Not going to Quebec, I was there last month.

this will surely a busy day for site owners out there. i never thought this would actually happen, not really into this but with current evidences showing up, i don't have a choice but to believe in such report. just me :2 cents: :2 cents:
