    When I first skimmed over the post I thought Cagey was blaming me for the hacking <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    There's a difference between a site being hacked and bein DDOS'ed by 10gb's per pc times probably a few hundred pc's.

    DDoS attacks can bring down almost any server worldwide, which is what some dimwit planned to do to the Microsoft ones, however, they missed to first rule of programming...










    Spell checking <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Plus, all MS did was to offline the Windows Update server 30 seconds before the attack, just in case the DDoS was bounced from another server, with similar spelling to Windowsupdate.com

    GG noob...
