Beware the GameSpy

Interesting article, especially for WAN gamers...

http://netscape.com.com/2100-1105-981255.html?type=pt

The article tells of the potential abuse of GameSpy game servers' use of UDP networking protocols.

Any observations or comments?

This is old news to those in the gaming community. It hasn't really been talked about much, sort of security through ignorance.

I haven't heard of any exploits of this on any large scale, yet.
