Government and commercial Web sites in the U.S. and South Korea are target of attacks.
At least 35 government and commercial Web sites in South Korea and the United States came under major attack over the past several days, fueling suspicions of involvement by North Korea or its sympathizers.
In the United States, the attacks targeted the White House Web site and those operated by major government agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security and Defense.
According to U.S. government officials, the attacks aimed to overwhelm those affected sites with phony access requests and therefore, deny access to legitimate ones.
So that's what they say. It could have been an inside j0b by the Obama administration trying to deny access to the mob of angry job seekers.
