We have been trying to deal with this problem for most of the day.  In the
process, we have learned that MANY other Internet sites were similarly
attacked (seemingly the same person using the same list of bogus

we have some leads as to the person's home computer site.  Finally, it
should be noted that the United States Secret Service is most likely
getting involved since the White House was similarly attacked.
