Lets face facts here folks. These attacks are made possible because people have simply refused to protect their computers and prevent them from being used as weapons. There are simple and effective firewalls, anti-virus and anti-malware programs available for free but too many people don't use them. If a potential attacker couldn't find unprotected computers to bring under their control and use in these sorts of attacks these sorts of attacks would be nearly impossible to make.

That said.

Rense, long a facile and compliant mouthpiece for the wingnut right and favorite outlet for PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. propaganda, deserves all the trouble that comes at him or his site. He gets very little sympathy from me.
