Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: VPC unreachable 12-09-02" 12-10-02, 23:22z  Greeting Vic: > Were they able to trace back the DOS attack?

Any reason why *they* were > targeted? Don't know, but as I explained above, our provider was just a casualty of the main/originating assault. Regardless, measures are in place so it won't happen again. <fingers crossed> We're also discussing internally fall back methods to keep us up if the NS shuts down again.
