China-related DoS attack takes down Codero-hosted Web sites

A distributed denial-of-service attack that affected thousands of customers at Codero and other hosting providers appeared to come from within China and to be launched at a Chinese site that is critical of communism or its Domain Name System provider, Codero said today.
"We were receiving more than 1.5 million packets per second in the attack. It paralyzed our core routers, and our upstream providers were unable to pinpoint where the target IPs were," he said.
With all the attacks and exploits coming from China, it would be sometimes the best to just drop traffic from there as soon as possible. Nobody buys the "we're doing nothing" statements from chinese officials anyway.
