Attrition says:

"CyberWar Rages in the Middle East!!! YOUR Servers could be next!!!" 

This is the kind of crap coming out of so-called security companies and news 
media lately. The real irony is that they are using data from the Attrition 
web defacement mirror to support their hyped conclusions. Let's take a little 
reality break, folks - the sky isn't falling. (Follow the link for more.)

Sorry Bill, I don't mean to degrade your comment, and you're right in a way. 
Unfortunately, there will probably be heightened activity in the coming weeks 
or months. But it has to be said that it can be attributed at least in part 
to the feds. By sending out releases like that, they're just winding up 
Eastern block script kiddies.

I really, genuinely, feel sorry for Americans right now. The lunatic is in 
charge of the asylum.
