Aha!
But remember that we are constantly being told that there is no longer a shortage of qualified network engineers and security professionals... I guess the definition of "qualified" has changed... I wonder where all of the people who use to yell "We need more CISSP's!!!!" have gone? Yet another in a long series of worthless certifications... When the volume (instead of the level of sophistication) of an attack becomes the only meaningful measure of its severity, perhaps we are being shown that just maybe there still IS a shortage of qualified network engineers and security professionals... It's a terrible thing when the most "competent" assessment of an attack comes from a "company spokesperson", rather than someone just a little more technical... Oh, well...
