Of course, services such as DNS, FTP, Telnet, Netbios, among others, were also massacred. Crackers used their ability to create exploits to exploit vulnerabilities in Internet services, and at the time, as I worked for an American bank, it was many early hours to update the environment and fix web server failures. Although it was run was challengin...
