[Leica] LUG server was down but now back up

[Frank Filippone]

Enjoyed your explanation for the attack.... I was wrong about world 
domination.. the attackers wanted to save your immortal soul..... or 
something like that......

Maybe this is not entirely interesting for the group, but I have always 
wondered.... what does a cyber attack actually look like? Just a whole 
bunch of  email traffic?  Order of magnitude, if that can be mentioned.....?

( I have deleted all the techie stuff, just because repeating it is 
another copy out there in cyber space.....
