Re: WTF happened to the Internet????!!!!

I know that there are reports of Iran running a squad of hackers right
now, because of the Stuxnet virus that brought their Atomic Weapons
program to a stand still, but with all major countries now using the
internet as their cyber warfare playground what can we do. I'd personally
like to blackhole some prefix's to fix a lot of this, but with a global
economy what can we do. What a sad state indeed.
