John Leyden writes in The Register:
Are hackers affected by lunar cycles? The question arises after we were sent a screenshot of the defacement of space.com yesterday morning. The attack happened hours before an annular eclipse reached Europe.
Coincidence? We think not. There's a lot of talk about zombie bots (PC infected by malware and under the control of hackers) but what of werewolves? Admittedly the defacement of space.com made no mention of lycanthropy but security vendors are always fond of talking about "silver bullet solutions" to hacker threats. There's even been a werewolf virus.
