Hackers from DC have already been at work according to some comments by Freepers recently.

.
There are already existing federal laws that have sentences up to and including the death sentence for hacking
So much on the internet is now used by EMS, rural Docs doing life-saving surgery using remote web-surgeons, LEOs, FDs, US and even other “friendly” military - such as emergency surgery in choppers or UAVs
Hacking is not just a path to blackmailing big corporations into hiring these creeps anymore
Don’t these simpletons comprehend that some big interests will “disappear” them before anyone will notice?
Burn a few of them and they will find other hobbies!

This article is badly overhyped.
Yes, there was a recent security patch to multiple implementations of DNS. Yes, the old one was vulnerable to hacking as was known for years. But (1) the danger was not nearly as grave as the article implies and (2) unless you are a system administrator, you don’t need to worry.

Keep us posted. My ‘puter glitched up badly enough to require a restart yesterday.
That nearly never happens (it’s a Mac). Happened on the Obama birth certificate thread.
Coincidence?

A coincidence?
Probably not, especially after Obamabots threatened to murder an entire family unless the guy withdrew his petition demanding the Senator publish his birth certificate. After proving to the poor guy that they knew his address and could name his kids, he shut down his website and posted an apology.
I cannot blame him - it’s his family.
But the criminals who threatened him and his family should be hunted down and justice prevail. They’ve violated his civil rights and free speech rights - a Federal crime.
