Comments on: Sun’s Utility Computing Offering - A Winning Recipe? http://www.psynixis.com/blog/2006/03/22/suns-utility-computing-offering-a-winning-recipe/ Simon Brocklehurst's Technology Blog Sun, 12 Oct 2008 04:55:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: simon http://www.psynixis.com/blog/2006/03/22/suns-utility-computing-offering-a-winning-recipe/#comment-953 simon Sun, 26 Mar 2006 09:26:10 +0000 http://www.psynixis.com/blog/?p=135#comment-953 It didn't get hacked, though, did it? There was a denial of service attack that hit a piece of software running on hardware that wasn't part of the grid. It's a shame that some people are so anti-social that they think doing a DoS attack was a good idea; but it's also a laughable, because these people are obviously so dumb they thought they were actually hitting the grid, rather than a demo system. I guess Sun aren't too unhappy about this publicity given that it actually supports the view that the Sun Grid is secure. Of course, if the actual grid is compromised by hackers, that *will* be a problem for Sun. It didn’t get hacked, though, did it?
