From SANS:
Chinese and American Hackers Waging Private War American cracker group PoizonBOx has defaced at least a hundred Chinese websites since April 4. Chinese hackers are now vowing to retaliate with a planned week-long all-out crack attack on American websites and networks which will start on May 1. http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,43134,00.html [Editor's (Paller) Note: The Chinese attacks started at least a week ago. A single large US site reports sustained Chinese traffic at over 60,000 packets per second.] -- -- ----/ / _ Fred A.
