that's good to know but unfortunately they are swamped with a big case load. I spoke with a man who is probably the nations most leading expert in computer forensics.( I'm dating his sister
She works for him
).
This is some insight gained from our conversation.
The FBI has to put things in priority. Not to down play this attack but there's other cases, fraud, credit card, identity, etc that would take precedent over a simple case of malicious intent Surprisingly, the FBI is not very skilled in this area. it's fairly new technology and the government isn't keeping up near as well as the private sector.
The good news is it can be traced. The origin can be traced, not totaly but to a point where there's enough evidence to charge an individual. At that point it's up to the individual to take lots of time, money and technical resources to prove innocence! Good luck! Evidence of this nature is extremely tough to dispute in a court room! It's black and white! The standard defense in cases of this nature is for the defendent to plea bargin and pray for a light sentence and or fine!
Attacks of this type require some pretty sophisticated equipment and the collaboration of other hackers to pull it off successfully.[Keyword: Sucessfully]. Why would these criminals risk exposure, time and resources just to bugger up this simple site where there's no profit involved ? This incident needs to be considered of a personal nature.
