Online Cyber Attack Traced to Server in Miami

Quote:

MIAMI ? Online monitors say that a recent spate of cyber-attacks against the U.S. and South Korea originated in the U.S., but tech pundits aren?t so sure.

Here?s what happened: Last week saw a coordinated attack from more than 166,000 computers in 74 countries. The attack targeted about three dozen government and commercial websites, effectively shutting them down.

According to online sources, a server in the U.K. coordinated the attack. The server in question belongs to an IP address range of 195.90.118.xxx, where "xxx" are three variable numbers. A company called Global Digital Broadcast owns the IP address range.

But the people behind Global Digital Broadcast say they're innocent, pointing instead to a server based in Miami.

Tech analyst Kim Zetter of Wired.com said that although hawkish elements in Congress are encouraging President Obama to strike back at the cyber-attackers, the server in Miami might be innocent, too.

"[I]t should be noted that the Miami connection was likely just another proxy used by the hacker, who could be based in the U.S. or anywhere else," she wrote.

Another source backs up that analysis. Hanoi-based security firm Bkis Security said that they when they traced the attack to the Miami-based server, they found it belonged to a company called Digital Latin America, but they also found that the server was merely used as a robot to sniff out other vulnerable servers to exploit.

Digital Latin America counsel Amaya Ariztoy said they're cooperating with authorities.

Interesting.

It's probably the same pricks who have been hitting all the ladyboy sites. ;-) They made national news with that. Perhaps they are gearing up for another round of attacks. lol

All of that hassle just to find a picture of your online?

Damn.

Could it be.. nah... it couldnt right :)?

I sincerely hope Washington doesn't take it upon themselves to make us all free from a "cyber threat"...

You should go get them and shut them down footsie man, just like "you" get everyone banned here, then you can make a lame thread about it with the stupid picture.

Teaches all those people who run insecure servers, and most importantly don't even have proper network monitoring and sniffing to to know that something fishy is going on in their network.

You should worry about yourself, and your own business instead of looking like a jaded school girl trolling me toots.

Carry on.
