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

[Guillaume Latzko-Toth]

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.
