"...a few folks in control of a bot-net with a significant presence in the South Korea area have just learned that the hard way."]]>Feb 7th 2007 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/Feb 7th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/
At least, that's my hope, because the alternative that they were just looking for a thrill is just too idiotic.]]>Feb 7th 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/Feb 7th 2007 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/Feb 7th 2007 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/Feb 7th 2007 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/If Aqua Teen Hunger Force & the Cartoon network has taught us anything, it is that Absolut is going to be in BIIIIIG trouble if this is their idea of viral marketing. I can't really imagine a corporation being so stupid as to pull something like this though--- even though it DOES look like an absolut ad, doesn't it?]]>Feb 7th 2007 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/Feb 7th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/
Take a look at the word in the first line (after telnet) and then step back two paces and look at the shape the characters make. Here's a hint: this looks more like an absolut[no e] genius of a marketing scheme than an attempted hack.]]>Feb 7th 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/07/hackers-attempt-to-break-the-internet-fail-miserably/

Ok, I'm getting mighty pissed at how ignorant the media is handling this story making the root NAME SERVERS sound like giant internet routers that pass traffic to the world. We're talking about NAME SERVERS. If you want to dumb down things then call them "the Yellow Pages of the Internet". Don't make them sound like routers, please.

*GRUMBLE*

Repeat after me:

:BEGIN
The web is NOT the Internet.
Name servers resolve names to IP addresses, they are not routers.
