Subject: Al Jazeera DOSed or just lots of traffic
:
: Al Jazeera's web site (www.aljazeera.net) has been intermittently
: unavailable today. Al Jazeera's spokesperson indicated it might be
: hackers, but it could have just been lots of people trying to reach the
: web site to see the pictures US television networks wouldn't broadcast,
: overloading their servers.
:
: That's the only "high visibility" problem I've heard of so far. There
: has been the normal background level of stuff on the net, cable cuts, web
: defacements, perpetual ddos attacks, etc.
:
It was DDoSed even the nameservers routes were null due to the DDoS huge
size.
Thanks,
-Abdullah
