Hi Everyone,

 

Just a bit of gossip for you!

 

If you haven't been following the news, here's something for you! Recently, the US as well as South Korea have been having a lot of their global (.com ?) and local websites attacked by what appears to be an organised attack. they believe it comes down to a virus using very complex code, and it appears that the attacks have come from 16 different countries (where the servers and zombie pc's are located). They believe N Korea is somehow involved - but this is just a suspicion - as you might know, everything is very tense right now.

 

Here are some links:
