it happens.

So.. 7 emails constitutes a coordinated attack? Is it too far beyond the realms of chaos to say that the pattern is more likely to be attributed to the increasing rate of phishing scams than it is to anyone's particular desire to view government websites. Keep in mind, Los Alamos puts a stupendous amount of data up for the public to view. Chances are, most of those "1,100" attempts were just google search result of pages that shouldn't have been cached that looked interesting.

The frightening part is not that someone phished national labs, but that the contingency wasn't anticipated, let alone expected on such a giant widely used and viewed webserver and mail server.
