Default OT: SLAMMER ATTACK - Why H-T Died Last Night...

Info:

http://asia.reuters.com/newsArticle....toryID=2109884

Bottom line:

Worldwide Internet traffic suddenly slowed down dramatically for hours on Saturday, after a fast-spreading computer worm clogged pipelines of the global network, officials said.

Experts called it the most damaging attack on the Internet in 18 months as networks across Asia, Europe and America were effectively shut down.

Even though the worst of the disruptions appeared to have passed by Saturday afternoon, some network disruption was likely to continue until Monday when businesses return to work, experts said...

At the height of the attack Saturday morning in the United States, about 20 percent of the data traffic being sent across the Internet was being lost in transit, a rate at least 10 times higher than normal, he said...

The attack began at approximately 12:30 a.m. EST and is still on-going, although the effects appear to be subsiding. If you're into this kind of stuff, you might want to bookmark this link:

Consider it a 'gauge cluster' for the Internet. The effects are plainly visible on the charts. Wild ****...
