Flap's Dentistry Blog: Muhammad Caricature Watch: The FLAP Over Publication of Muhammad Caricatures on the Internet

Michelle Malkin: THE ISLAMISTS' WAR ON THE INTERNET

Last Tuesday, during or immediately after my appearance on Fox News Channel to discuss the Mohammed Cartoons, this blog was hit by a large, foreign-based denial of service attack. Last night, my hosting service notified me that it is receiving ongoing threats from individuals vowing to take down this site--and others along with it--which will presumably continue until I take down the cartoons. For now, we are on guard and continuing with business as usual. But you should know there's something much wider and deeper going on:

I. Security Pro News reports on the latest Islamist hacker attacks spurred by Cartoon Jihad.

This blog has also published the Muhammad Caricatures and has NOT received notice of a denial of service attack - YET. Flap has an alternate Blog where I can transfer posts should this site ever be attacked and taken down.

The attacks are coming from all over; last week, a Tampa, Fla.-based hosting company took down a hacking site that had targeted the Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that originally published the 12 Mohammed Cartoons.

II. ISN notes the growth of the "virtual jihad community:"

III. Andrew Cochran at The Counterterrorism Blog reports on Muslim cyberterrorist hacking of American websites, and posts one reader's thoughts on where this is headed:

The outstanding question is law enforcement response to Islamist "hack-tivists" defacing or otherwise compromising non-critical websites. Again, considered in isolation, defacing a women's motorcycle club website for a day or two is an aggravation but not a threat to society. Considered in aggregate, however, defacing and compromising thousands of webpages is a dangerous pattern, a sure sign of probes preliminary to a coordinated attack of potentially massive proportions.

Other blogs have been attacked as well.......

Via LGF, I learned that my favorite photoblog, zombietime, has been attacked as well:

I have been seriously targetted too. Had a DDOS attack from Turkey. Just in the last hour I've been reverse-spammed with dozens of viruses from these email domain addresses:
smtp2.ste.net.sy
alesta.sbs.com.tr
easynet.co.uk
touchtelindia.net

Looks like they're coming from Syria, Turkey, Britain and India today (all countries with large populations of Muslims).

Every day the attacks come from new countries: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, UAE, etc.

It's craziness.

So, stay tuned........
