Agreed, just because someone takes down a public web site does not really mean they can get to anything of importance.

The classified National Security systems are usually closed loop networks with no lines to the internet. Most of the time when there is a breach in the news about a classified doc it was because it was put on a laptop or some other box outside of that loop. AKA human error. These types of things need to be fixed sure, but just because someone can DoS a public site does not mean they will be downloading plans for the next super bomber.

Personally I think if MS's new AV is at least decent, it will make this much harder since having a few million Bots will not be as easy.
