Running a Tight Ship

Check out these two literally consecutive paragraphs:

Microsoft did not know how many computers were involved in the attack, but Sundwall pointed out that Microsoft's Web site is a popular target and is designed to withstand even large-scale attacks without disruption.

The attackers probably have a very large network of compromised "zombie" machines that are being coordinated to attack Microsoft, he said. With two successful attacks in one week, Microsoft is looking into software and other technology to prevent future threats, Sundwall said.

I think this bears repeating: Microsoft's Web site is a popular target and is designed to withstand even large-scale attacks without disruption . . . two successful attacks in one week.

Yup. Paragon of security.
