I really wish they'd release geographic information on who's launching these attacks. On the bright side, a Saturday @ 7 eastern isn't near as annoying as something during the workweek.



While 'neat', it won't reveal who's actually controlling the botnet and launched the attack.


It's really quite a shame at how little can be done to find the perpetrator. I suppose contacting law enforcement wouldn't do much either, unless it's a significant persistent threat that would warrant a large scale investigation.
