Don't Mess with Bill
As I posted Wednesday, Bill O' Reilly's web site has been down, under attack in fact. Quoting his site:
It's one thing thing to mess with Laura Ingraham. She might be more upset, but Bill O'Reilly is the one this hacker really shouldn't mess with. O'Reilly has the lawyers, guns, and money to find the people responsible. In fact, he'll make a segment or two on his TV "Factor" out of it that alone will pay his expenses here.
"BillOReilly.com was attacked repeatedly by a malicious technology called a "botnet." This means that the site was bombarded by data that overloaded our firewalls. We had to take the site down in order to protect it, and so we could make sure that every possible countermeasure was being taken."Laura Ingraham's site was also attacked it appears, as she acknowledged on air. It wasn't as severe, but had her site down or slow several times during the same interval.
