Federal Web sites knocked out by cyber attack
(AP:WASHINGTON) A widespread and unusually resilient computer attack that began July 4 knocked out the Web sites of several government agencies, including some that are responsible for fighting cyber crime, The Associated Press has learned.
The Treasury Department, Secret Service, Federal Trade Commission and Transportation Department Web sites were all down at varying points over the holiday weekend and into this week, according to officials inside and outside the government. Some of the sites were still experiencing problems Tuesday evening.
Federal government officials refused to publicly discuss any details of the cyber attack, and would only generally acknowledge that it occurred. It was not clear whether other government sites also were attacked.
Others familiar with the outage, which is called a denial of service attack, said that the fact that the government Web sites were still being affected three days after it began signaled an unusually lengthy and sophisticated attack. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter.

Nice find, connecting the dots
Obama says "Our pursuit of cybersecurity will not--I repeat, will not--include monitoring private-sector networks or Internet traffic," Another broken promise !

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.

For the government, I wonder why?
Time to do away with this government once & for all.... *loaded & ready*
They should take out the entire CIA's infrastructure if they're going to do cyber attacks, might as well make it count, what with them buying everything up right.
My gripe also SimpleSam, blind rhino's are getting the money.

SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea says the Web sites of major government agencies, banks and Internet sites were paralyzed due to a suspected cyber attack.
The state-run Korea Information Security Agency said that Web sites of the presidential Blue House, the Defense Ministry, the National Assembly, Shinhan Bank, Korea Exchange Bank and top Internet portal Naver have been down or had access problems starting late Tuesday.
Some of the sites remain unstable.
Agency spokeswoman Ahn Jeong-eun says the paralysis happened because of a deluge of computers trying to connect with the affected sites, overwhelming computer servers that handle the traffic.
