The Netherlands have trouble with some DDOS attackson their government servers.
The websites like for example regering.nl are due to distributed denail of service attacks difficult ro reach. Also some corporate sites (operaters) are down due to this large scale attack.

OXIFE October 5, 2004
The sites regering.nl - kabinet.nl and probably some others experienced the effect of a DDOS. This is what FOK.nl says. What FOK.nl is also saying is that the "hackersgroup" 0x1fe launched the attack.

Ofcourse we have nothing to do with the attack, but we think that the people launching this attack are a few people from our IRC channel, they think they are a part of 0x1fe and used our name.

Though we like the free promotion..
It's almost for sure that people from the IRC channel used botnets with about 180.000 computers, a lot from university labs, meaning high speed internet connections.
The reason for this attack is disagreement with the policy. The attack is planned to be continued until saterday.
