(two crippling denial-of-service attacks in the past week)
Quote:
"The first attack, on Friday, was so severe that it not only threatened Boxun but its entire hosting service, name.com. Denial-of-service attacks overload host servers with external communications requests, thus preventing websites from functioning. Bill Mushkin, chief executive of name.com, told The Associated Press that the attack followed an e-mailed demand that his company disable Boxun and cede control of the site to hackers. Labeling the attack a "strong arm tactic," Mushkin and his company helped Boxun move to another host, enom.com, but a second attack followed that forced yet another server relocation.
