bingo! from all appearances
o google made a dns boo boo which partially damaged their own
service for somewhat less than an hour. and they published
a report, albeit one in which we engineers find far too
little detail.
o netsol was down for over a day. it was due to an attack.
the outage affected many sites who pay netsol for the
service. and they're still trying to pretend nothing
happened at all. and we get no education on what happened
so we have a chance of history not repeating itself.
i bet that you can guess which i think deserves the attentions
of the press (i.e. paul).
