Yesterday I ran into Slideshare co-founder and CTO Jonathan Boutelle in the Blogtropolus lounge. He told me about the Denial of Service attacks from China that Techcrunch covered this morning. It aimed to bring down political content through removal and password reset requests by fake users, and then a botnet attack last Thursday and Friday. CNN had a similar attack.
It continues now, perhaps after blog coverage, but that shouldn't stop people from raising awareness. Think of it as recruiting a friendly botnet, on a political level.
