Netsky.Q takes down P2P and crack sites

Email worm Netsky.Q variant has managed to bring down the websites hosting eDonkey2000 and eMule at www.edonkey2000.com and www.emule-project.net. The worm has also brought down two piracy sites at www.cracks.st and www.cracks.am. The only site that has managed to survice the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is Kazaa homepage at www.kazaa.com.

The eDonkey website is available at eDonkey2000.com, and the eMule-project is currently available at an alternative address -- www.eMule-Project.org. Of course not too many would think of trying the second-level domain name without the third-level part, www.
