IDG News Service - Authorities in the U.S. and Germany have raided Internet Service Providers in hopes of tracking down the hackers who launched distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against Web sites such as Visa.com, PayPal.com, and Mastercard.com earlier this month.

In documents posted Wednesday to the Smoking Gun Web site, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation describes the complex path its investigation has taken as it has searched for the computers that served as a central meeting point for the attacks.

After Germany's Federal Criminal Police raided service provider Host Europe, they linked one of he IRC servers to Dallas's Tailor Made Services, the documents state. Two hard drives were seized from Dallas's Tailor Made Services on Dec. 16, the Smoking Gun reports. Another IRC server has been traced to Fremont, California's Hurricane Electric.

Neither Hurricane Electric nor Tailor Made Services could be reached immediately for comment Thursday.

4. It becomes and interesting problem since HE etc are not ISPs, they are hosting providers

It a major difference. They rent servers/rack space/provide connectivity. They do not monitor activities but provide infrastructure. I have my own "ISP" in just such a place.

2. Their non-investigation into "Jester" is proceeding extremely well

given he's openly admitted to doing the very same thing - against Assange.

6. There goes another whole section of the Constitution. Freedom of

speech is done if it has ever been a part of our modern world.

7. What does a DOS attack have to do with speech

or the constitution?

9. I was not talking about the attack - I was angry with

the two governments for doing this against servers.
