Primary DNS Servers Fail
In what is being called an unprecendented accident, several of
the worlds primary DNS servers fell over yesterday. Internet services
in some areas ground to a halt as 5 of the Primary DNS servers crashed
in quick succession. It is believed that an unknown group took advantage
of an until now unknown critical vulnerability in the servers. The
vulnerability was closed quickly but the servers were down for several
hours, causing increased traffic globally. |
