By the way, there was a thing in the Yahoo/Reuters feed about "attacks" on DoD computers; apparently British police arrested a "hacker" the other day. Anyway, the article included a claim that there have been 250,000 attempted break-ins on DoD computers over the past year.
Does anybody know how they count that?
Any time that someone doesn't successfully log into their computer, pings their site, fingers their site, does a nslookup on their site or anything else that constitutes an "attack."
