During September, Japan's telcos came under a vast "cyberattack" involving a distributed denial of service attack.
On the weekend I had a conversation with someone who runs a network operating center for a major Japanese telco. He told me that the telcos have seen a vast denial-of-service attack coming from countless sources inside China. It coincided with the increased tension between China and Japan. It was so bad that their ISP had to block all traffic coming from China, which is how it stayed for the duration of the attack.
Those wacky Chinese script kiddies! Look at all the resources they can bring to bear, and how good they are at avoiding detection and control in notoriously overpoliced China.
