Seams like there is a new cyber attack that happened over the weekend and is still causing issues. The attack though was aimed more at South Korea but yet it also shut down quite a few of our Governmental sites here in the US. The South Korea's are pointing their fingers to North Korea

Officials: N. Korea believed behind cyber attacks

The sites of 11 South Korean organizations, including the presidential Blue House and the Defense Ministry, went down or had access problems since late Tuesday, according to the state-run Korea Information Security Agency. Agency spokeswoman Ahn Jeong-eun said 11 U.S. sites suffered similar problems. She said the agency is investigating the case with police and prosecutors.

In the U.S., the Treasury Department, Secret Service, Federal Trade Commission and Transportation Department Web sites were all down at varying points over the July 4 holiday weekend and into this week, according to American officials inside and outside the government.

Others familiar with the U.S. outage, which is called a denial of service attack, said that the fact that the government Web sites were still being affected three days after it began signaled an unusually lengthy and sophisticated attack. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter.

Ok so its looking like it mainly hit Governments so were pretty much safe huh. Well I dunno I also read this part

Earlier Wednesday, the NIS [National Intelligence Service — South Korea's main spy agency] said in a statement that 12,000 computers in South Korea and 8,000 computers overseas had been infected and used for the cyber attack....

An initial investigation in South Korea found that many personal computers were infected with a virus program ordering them to visit major official Web sites in South Korea and the U.S. at the same time, Korean information agency official Shin Hwa-su said. There has been no immediate reports of similar cyber attack in other Asian countries.

OK so some in S. Korea have gotten it while visiting the governmental websites. Yeah I'm not liking the wording on that. Who is to say that if we go poking around on some US governmental sites that we couldn't end up with some nasty booger. I'm suppose to go online and file some corporate reports to governmental sites today. Yeah I think I'll be holding off. I just need to do it by the 20th so I have some time and I think I'll be using it now.
