OT - Shrapnel Games server hit by Code Red?!?

Anybody care to propose a solution (no matter how draconian) to the hacker problem? Seems to me to be the new millenium's Version of graffiti, and just as hard to combat. Do you send some teenager to jail for "spray-painting" the net? And yet, it's more costly to society than old-fashioned vandalism. Also, ironically, it is much more likely to strike at the middle-class than at ghetto-dwellers.
