Denial of Responsibility (DoR) Attacks

[Grant Barrett]

Coined for the computing world, but applicable in politics as well: Denial
of Responsbility (DoR) attacks, patterned after Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks.

"DoR attacks used to be of a simple, garden-variety type where a computer
manufacturer obscures the fact it has shipped a system with bugs (sometimes
known to the company in advance). More recent DoR attacks include the
inclusion of "cool features" that benefit only a few curious experimenters
but open the door to serious intrusions."
