        Like most people who have their computers permanently connected to the
internet, I frequently am the target of rather crude attacks, presumably
launched by script kiddies. What I find interesting is that whenever I
look into the origin of such attacks, based on the IP address that they
are coming from, the attacks always come, so far without exception, from
one of three countries: China, Taiwan and Korea.

        What's wrong with them?

        Interesting. I have yet to be attacked from IP addresses from those
countries.

The same that was wrong with the US, until they were outnumbered
on the Internet by China et al: lots of bored students getting
net access, without familiar or other organizational behaviour
control in place...

The more interesting question, probably, would be in which coutries
the introduction of the Internet to the younger population was not
accompanied by such behaviour. You could learn something _there_.

best regards
Patrick
