Our company network (24 computers and 39 Quaalcom units) is protected with ZoneAlarm Pro. Since about 7:00AM Arizona time this morning, our network is constantly getting bombarded with pings, but only when I am connected to Flyertalk. Have shut down the network twice, trying to prevent this, but the minute I connect to Flyertalk, someone starts trying to get into our computers.

With all the publicity this morning on NBC and MSNBC (they ran the story at least twice), I can just visualize some kid in his dorm room going to our beloved site and wreaking havoc with our computers.
