Answering tlw's question:

They Want to hack the 13 traffic computers because after they did it would be nearly impossible to send information over the net. however much of the information on them is spread out over a lot of computers.

My Question:
What is the company that officials traced the trackers? What EXACTLY did that company do?

Answering m.b.d's question

The company that officials traced the trackers is UltraDNS.Company officials did not immediately telephone calls from the Associated Press.

My question:
Who is John Crain?And what was one of the things he said?
