*.mil:80 disconnected in self-defense?

Mon Jul 23 21:04:15 UTC 2001

I have a report that .mil disconnected port 80 traffic
from outside hosts, and possibly some other stuff,
in response to DOS attacks last week.

There was some discussion on the inetproviders list this
morning on the topic, and then I asked someone inside
who confirmed the cutoff and said there's a DISA alert
and operational bulletin about it.

It seems to be Just One of Those Months.
