Don't you want to throttle them?

I'm a pacifist... I'll do anything I can to see both sides of an argument... and try and reach a resolution.

BUT... the 'dickheads' that keep trying to take down websites to demonstrate their skills, are pushing my patience to the extreme. I don't know if the latest 'wobbles' on here today are due to yet another attack, but we've had enough already.

They need to grow up very quickly and the 'powers that be' should throw the book at them, not offer them jobs in their own security. By all means highlight security problems they've discovered, but don't use them to prove their point.

Could say so much more, but then it would be me 'in the dock' and not the 'perpetrators'.

I've been having problems getting some of the pages to load, but I thought it was just me.

I completely agree with you Raffles

Today's problems have indeed been down to attacks. You can check out Cloudflares twitter feed status link to see where attacks are being made & what they are doing to mitigate them. They use airport codes for areas, so for example, LHR is London Heathrow.
