Verizon Blocks Sites Tied to Network Attacks

Verizon temporarily blocked traffic from some Web sites affiliated with the 4chan online forum after finding that some affiliate sites were apparently launching network attacks. "Our network security system found traffic from some 4Chan Web sites that had strong potential to disrupt the Verizon Wireless network, affecting our customers' use of their services," said Verizon spokesman Jeffrey Nelson.
