In an hour-long telephone conference call with Threat Level, the hackers known as "Defiant" and "EBK" EXPRESSED astonishment over the ATTENTION their DNS hijacking has garnered. In the call, the pair bounded freely between jubilant excitement over the impact of their attack, and fatalism that they would soon be arrested for it. "The situation has kind of blown up here, a lot bigger than I thought it would," says Defiant, a 19-year-old man whose first name is James. "I wish I was a minor RIGHT now because this is going to be really bad." .......So...that's what happened to my email yesterday... I was wondering why I haven't been receiving any.Wow, that's some story if you read it all.If it were me, I'd be in Mexico by now.My mail was fine yesterday, but I was mail-less for a few hours, a week (?) ago.Defiant? I wonder if HES arrested yetI think Comcast's DNS(s) have always been a weak spot for them. There were at least two or three times while I had their service (about 1 1/2 years) that they lost their DNS. I could surf all day on IP addresses, but no names until the DNS was brought back on line.
