Watch those keystrokes, you might get a felony.

Today on digg, there was an article about a “Deadly F5 Attack” at a highschool. Man, that’s sick. I guess if you wrote a script to maliciously infect a machine to execute F5 on every machine it might be deadly but no, guess what this kid did? He wrote on his blog and told all of his friends to go to the school’s website and hit F5. Now, what’s funny about this is:

  • It’s a kid’s blog. Seriously.
  • Who listened to this guy?
  • F5, what’s that do again? Refresh. On what systems?
  • Why do they run their webserver on the internal network?
  • Don’t they know they’re going to get dugg/slashdotted now?

So there you have it. Watch your keystrokes, or your next blog entry could be from jail. Lovely.
