Netcraft News Reports Today: "Sites offering tools to deflect hacker intrusions and spyware infestation have also become targets of DDoS attacks. Last week the NukeCops site was shut down and placed for sale, just days after a protracted DDoS struck NukeCops and an affiliated site, ComputerCops. NukeCops had just begun offering a tool claiming to secure the PHPNuke content management system against SQL injection attacks, an exploit frequently used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to online forum applications.

Last week the site operator warned that "unless I can get some sort of serious funding to continue operating then these may be the final days of the sites being in operation. The bad guys are hitting us the only way they can... in the wallet.""
