Re: [Air-l] Denial of Service attack against al Jazeera

Thank you Frank for this follow-up. I hope that some investigation will be done just like when the website of eBay and co. were attacked. I would not be surprised to learn that this DoS was the fact of an individual "hacker" motivated by sheer hatred. Paradoxically, the difficulty of controlling the Internet is like a double-edged weapon: it can make happen the blooming of blogs, but in a context of high-scale misinformation/desinformation and manipulation of public opinion, it can also generate self-justice behaviors, the "cyber-Rambo" syndrome.
