- DoraLives, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Microsoft is clearly living in a world all their own. They really do need to get outside of their steel bubble and see how things work out here in reality.
- DoctorWhohaa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually, the blurb is misleading, and taken out of context. The rest of the paragraph reads:
"Probably Steve Ballmer realized I wasn't within chair
throwing distance and so he came up with this plan instead :). Hehe,
actually it is surely some employee who forgot that we don't all have
as much bandwidth as Microsoft. So for now, I've banned the IP. "
Bad Submitter, no go sit in the corner, - estvir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i believe he is paranoid, and when companies do you use dos attacks against competitors, they do it rather discretely.
no digg, it's simply an accident blown out of proportion. - tito13kfm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The description of the story appears out of context. Further reading shows that he doesn't truly believe it was them trying to take him down. Not digg worthy - Lame.
- Sage-Tech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Couldn't this have been a case of an indexer (like the one used by Share Point Portal) turned loose by an employee who didn't know better? Why assume a DoS attack?
- heyhoeyeoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is a FANTASTIC story.
- idiggit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Tainted with sensationalism. No digg.
- Izzie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't actually believe that the guy who is behind nmap isn't aware it is easy to spoof the attacker adress, and many people like to use IP from MS for this purpose.
- mustnap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought M$ was better than that!!
I'm a bit disappointed.. haha.. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I totally agree, besides if Microsoft wanted the site gone, they'd buy it or lobby for a law against it.
