...Tramp, we have a lot of art drawn in very different eras, like Bert Grimm's stuff. Some of it is 50, 60 years old. The tattoo artists of his era - and this is not a very popular opinion - they couldn't draw very well.

Then there's the nature of the attacks: crude and essentially harmless. Cyberexperts call them denial-of-service (DOS) attacks, because they do no more harm than slow down or temporarily shut down networks. No sensitive government network was affected: the hackers (or lone hacker, since this could easily be the work of one person) only went after unrestricted, so-called public-facing sites. The assumption among some cyberexperts is that such unsophisticated attacks must come from an unsophisticated source...
