On NTP Reflection DDoS: 1990s Strike Back?
February 18, 2014 Added by:Anton Chuvakin
Sure, I admire the ability of attackers to find all the opportunities for amplification DDoS.

January 27, 2014 Added by:Electronic Frontier Foundation
Some people have condemned last week’s court decision to reject the bulk of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Open Internet Order as a threat to Internet innovation and openness. Others hailed it as a victory against dangerous government regulation of the Internet. Paradoxically, there is a lot of truth to both of these claims.
