Sure do but from what I've seen in some of the security stuff I get and now even
on the NEWS, "they" hacked into BIG computers and Universities (that had HIGH
SPEED internet access) because "University computer security is lax at best and
they have high speed internet connections". So it probably wasn't a BUNCH of
hackers, could have even been ONE. "They" have been planting these DoS programs
since last December...
