Well the state of Georgia has been asking why they had attempts from DHS addresses. The states own systems detected the attempt and even where it came from. These were early in the year. it took awhile but DHS claimed a hack occurred via the Borders and Custom's systems.

Trying to get to the bottom of that one where we know who was affected and the IP addresses trace back to another government agency is even more maddening, why won't the Feds cooperate?

The initial information on that sounded like they were whining about a port scan. Did I miss something about it being a real attack? To me it's maddening that basic nonintrusive port scans would be considered hostile or needing investigation/apology.
