Root servers dDOS'ed
I didn't notice it but 9 of the 13 "root" internet servers that direct all web traffic around the globe were subjected to a serious attack late on Monday.

The FBI and the Whitehouse are now investigating the incident, which began at 2100 GMT and lasted for one hour. A spokesman for the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Centre said officials were "aware of the denial of service attack and addressing this matter". Another official described it as the most sophisticated attack ever mounted against critical internet infrastructure.

We probably didn't notice it due to the TTL on all of our nameservers, DDOS is lame. Lear to hack.
