Recent DDos attacks on US and South Korea government web sites

Recent evaluations of DDos attacks note that there is NO EVIDENCE that North Korea has launched a cyberwar against the United States.  A sophisticated botnet is launching these denial-of-service attacks where websites are so overwhelmed with traffic, users cannot properly connect.

QUOTE: I know of not a shred of evidence that this bot is from North Korea. It would take considerable research to ascertain the original source (the relevant IPs to the malicious code are in several places — Florida and Germany). What happened here is trivial stuff in the security world: A bot got on between 60,000 to 100,000 PCs, and started launching DDoS attacks.
