No, I will not say or write, that they did a good job (especially because it
was possible to prove the "attack" after a few seconds (technically - since IPs
dont lie!?) and after a few minutes (administratively - since it was about
noon, so that the local administrators were present)).
There is even a cinema movie and a book about them (somehow there was some
loophole before...). Its is called "23", I think... Some people will never
learn... http://german.imdb.com/title/tt0126765/
