'Historic' Web Attack Didn't Cripple The Internet And Is Over Anyway
http://j.mp/10l0cbr (NPR)
Well, there are two things everyone needs to know this morning:
- "Companies that monitor Internet traffic" say the attack is over. (The Wall Street Journal, in a pay wall-protected report.)
- The claim that this "biggest in history" attack caused chaos on the
Web "would be exciting and scary, except it's just not true."
(Gizmodo)

The attack was mostly hype, as earlier noted.
