I'll be brief, but I am interested in other views. 1) There is a war on and many participants are seeking to attack information infrastructures for things ranging from public relations to critical infrastructure attacks. 2) 4.1 Million people were summarily kicked off the Internet and are slowly being put back on under increased restrictions on use - including that AT&T owns copy and distribution rights to all content passing out from their network - including not having 'services' on computers in their network - including knowing how many individuals are users and charging per individual. The current cable performance is far higher than before - probably because of very light loads. Many have moved to other services - I have always had redundancy and used it well - but others who have to chose have now opted out of @home. 3) The only things that were happening in the @home network while the service was down but the modems were still turned on was that viruses were continuing to spread - yes the viruses persisted without routing or DNS or anything else - finding their way to any IP address they coud reach. 4) As the @home network came back up, it revealed many many UIDs and passwords because the modems were not brought up in a restricted enough operating mode. For those who recorded the traffic, it is a goldmine. 5) A new and destructive virus is said to be spreading rapidly in the Internet. 6) It's only Tuesday.
