[Leica] collateral damage

[Brian Reid]

Back in the Good Old Days you needed to be near a war to be subject to 
accidental damage from the two sides shooting at each other. Or you 
could hear the explosions if you were close enough.

The LUG server (which is physically in Fremont, California, across the 
bay from Silicon Valley) has in the past few days been bombarded with 
millions of unfriendly transmissions from network locations in western 
Asia. Mostly from Belarus. It is not the kind of system that these 
attacks are designed to hurt, so there has not been any damage other 
than system overload, but it's unsettling.
