Hackers hit key Internet traffic computers

It was clear from the highly reliable index I call the "Nanogdex" that
nothing was seriously amiss.

Ndex value of 0, i.e. no traffic on-list, means either "all systems
go!" or "outage so serious that Mitre is unreachable. Stockpile
ammunition"

Ndex value of 5, i.e. +/=100 mails/day, means "serious crisis"

A caveat - Ndex 4 is usually "situation normal, members bored and
discussing the relative merits of the Chicago and Kansas City cable
tie knots."
