U.K., not North Korea, source of DDOS attacks, researcher says

As promised here is a short part of a log from our FTP server.  While we get attacks on this daily, this computer has NO critical data.  It allows us to study ‘hackers’ who want to break in.  I wish we could show you the source county on this file.  It is not uncommon for the attacker to continue the attack.  This attack more than likely came from a mobile phone in a foreign country.   Placing a honeypot or computer to study other computers and malicious users on the web has been in place for years.  I’m never surprised to see companies that have no form of R&D or security analyst in place to ‘watch’ these users.

The continuous changing of usernames and passwords goes well beyond the Administrator.   Deliberate. Period.
