Hi,
	I have heard from the news that cyber attackers used "joint
attack" to block users from accessing www.yahoo.com earlier today.
I understand the concept of how that works, but the news article also
said that Yahoo is working on a filter to prevent future attack of this
nature.  I am just wondering how could that be done.


Thanks for your time!

Frankie
