Cyberwar

From 911Encyclopedia:

From a January 2003-article by DALNetizen, official ezine of the DALnet IRC Network: "It's no secret that DALnet has suffered massive attacks recently, far greater than anything we've seen before. We've been ravaged by DDoS attacks in the gbps range, attacks which are not just crippling our IRC servers, but causing disruption to the providers who host those servers." (-> Pointdexter, John) In January 2003, a worm, called "slammer" attacked the internet.
