The attacks this week did come from numerous machines, and from their valid addresses, from all over the net. The hackers actually compromised machines, and installed software which provided some "remote controlled attacks" to be executed. From the news reports today, they even added one at least one more level of indirection to do the deeds ... think of it as someone using your actual phone to make prank calls ... The last part of your statement is accurate though ... the old defenses will not work ... ;-) Scott C. Lemon
