Benign security warnings have trained users to ignore them

From Ars Technica:

Quote:
It should come as no surprise that most Internet users ignore security certificate warnings, but a new study examines just how severe this behavior is and why people do it. Hint: it's because legit websites cry wolf with SSL warnings on a regular basis.

AT&T: 4chan block due to DDoS attack coming from 4chan IPs

From Ars Technica:

Quote:
Over the weekend, AT&T began blocking 4chan's image server because of what the telecom calls a denial of service attack originating from IP addresses connected to a 4chan server. The blockage has since been removed, but not before 4chan denizens tried retaliating against AT&T.

Long Live 4Chan!
