nevermind, don't want to start a flamewar and get destroyed by ######...

I think what Robert meant is that these DOS attacks come from Asia more often than not....

aren't Russia and China mostly the origin of this kind of cyber attack? i do believe so.

China= Hacker capital of the world. That is fact. Therefore, if there were to be an attack , it is most likely to come from china.

Whoever it is, they're pricks.

No, thats not what he did at all. The fact is a very large percentage of hacking attacks and DoS attacks on the internet originate from China.

Karen, I don't think this is a dig at China however from what I know (and I'm not a computer security expert) a lot of automatic attacks have been coming out of china lately. Chris

we're all a little wound up over the release here and the subsequent attack... but let's try not to blow all of this out of proportion and read too much into one word here or there.

This actually appears to be more of an attempt to start a flame war judging by the section you emboldened rather than your indignation of how something was worded, and his thread would be better deleted

Karan, get your head out of the sand. It came from china and was targeted at pmdg just as they released the plane. Hmmm... Wonder who had motive.....

EDIT...I removed my whole comment...better to not even say anything.... Adam

Geez guys....it goes from bad to worse! The stupidity in here is rampant.

No one? Maybe my thread was in bad taste, but you can't seriously think iFly started this? What motive would they have for this? haha...both of the planes are in different leagues, and both are professional! Get my head out of sand? First get your head straightened out...it's outright stupid and comical if you think iFly had anything to do with this.

Good thing your not in law enforcement.

Sorry for the extra thread but I would like to point this out. Robert said, in http://forum.avsim.n...date-here/]This thread[/url], this: What's up with that? Why is it not a surprise? That can be quite offensive, why isn't it a surprise it's coming from China when it's more likely it would have come from the US? Anonymous is based in US, why should it be no surprise it came from China? Are you implying something? Are they taking a dig at another company? But surely not... But isn't that somewhat what robert did with the 'no surprise' comment? Very unprofessional from PMDG IMO, and I request they remove that comment...it's uncalled for and unwarranted and kind of hypocritical. Cheers. Karan

Karan,Get a life! Try directing your energy to something a little more constructive rather than bleeting about something as innocent as this. Fair dinkum
