The NIPC, which issued the alert said it received "credible but nonspecific information that wide-scale hacker attacks" are being planned, "possibly emanating from Western Europe." The NIPC said it will update information as it becomes available.
The NIPC urged the public to report suspected network attack activity to local law enforcement or online, or contact the NIPC Watch and Warning Unit at 202-323-3205 or e-mail.
Some companies providing managed security services say they are taking the notice to heart, but so far have detected no unusual surge in traffic flows or hacker activity. Riptech, for one, reported no noticeable increase in attacks on its customers around the world.

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:10.4.5 404 Not FoundThe server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. |
