It’s not often that one has the opportunity to be the target of a cyber and kinetic attack at the same time. But that is exactly what’s happened to me and my Web site over the past 24 hours.

More?

Bunch of little bitches. Easy enough to send a similar attack right back at them, and if they use windows, leave a little note on their desktop just to spook them. All a bit of a 'Yawn' isn't it.

I suspect once people overstep the mark to this extent, they will be traced, arrested and extradited. Interfering with people's web sites is one thing. Causing major armed incidents tying up the security forces is quite another.
