Should be fun when your medical records are online.
Those wild and whacky Chinese. They will do anything for a laugh...
Have they heard of firewalls?

Damn. They should think about outsourcing to a reputable company that does IT Security. </shameless plug
I blame Ebaum’s.

A large distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack shut down 11 South Korean government website for hours, Yonhap reports. -- about 8:30 pm CST from BNO Headquarters
And from the MSNBC story above:
Web sites overwhelmed
Denial-of-service attacks against Web sites are not uncommon, and are usually caused when sites are deluged with Internet traffic so as to effectively take them offline. Mounting such an attack can be relatively easy using widely available hacking programs, and they can be made far more serious if hackers infect and use thousands of computers tied together into “botnets.”
For instance, last summer, in the weeks leading up to the war between Russia and Georgia, Georgian government and corporate Web sites began to see denial-of-service attacks. The Kremlin denied involvement, but a group of independent Western computer experts traced domain names and Web site registration data to conclude that the Russian security and military intelligence agencies were involved.
several government agencies, including some that are responsible for fighting cyber crime
Not a cyber attack. Just too many people trying to watch Michael Jackson’s funeral on the web. Owwwhh!

George Soros doubling dipping.
Another “crisis” that will require control over Americans, their internet use, and the net in general.

OBAMA’S FAULT!!
He’s emboldened the cyberterrorists!! Heck, he probably gave them the codes they needed to hack into the gubmint programs for Pete’s sake!!
this registers as a 0.01 on my give-a-sh*t ometer anymore.
Anything our enemy can do to shut down our government probably helps us right now more than it hurts us.
Just that 2 million more Americans are trying to get into unemployment government web sites. The great O underestimated the jam it would cause.
Yeah, their IT team was appointed by Hussein and Michelle.
Primary gateways and routers can be told not to route packets from specific countries (IP address ranges) effectively removing them from the Internet whether or not they are physically “connected”. I doubt it would take many service disconnections to encourage those countries that generate this crap from policing themselves.
“Resistance”?
I hope they didn’t hack any computers at the IRS! /s
