why everone is talking only about swisscom?
Because they are the biggest Large target -> easy shot. Or was that a rhetorical question? ;-)
what about cablecom/upc, sunrise, thenet, init7, etcetc... what are you doing against that? would be interesting to see, what is everyone doing to prevent cyberterror?
The same, I must assume. (I.e.: get rid of the problem by null-routing the targeted IP). But I'm glad that 20min actually went forward with the story. Wouldn't have surprised me if the guy had to shop the story around.
(this might be probably an interesting topic for swinog-20...).
beside DoS attacks there are other possiblities. what if someone is nuking telehouse? what if someone putting fire into an exchange? what if someone breaks into an exchange and steals hardware armed/unarmed (already happend in if i'm not wrong chicago)....
Well, it will only happen if there is some profit to make and this is the easiest way to reach the goal. Cui bono?
this topic is sooo huuuge ,-)
Indeed.
