I went to the store and panic bought milk bread and eggs and bought more mre's then bought more ammo on-line when I got home......what?....don't look at me like that.

Is it still down? I don't see any intelligent conversations

When will it be back up?  

DNS issues I think - not sure what the official line was.

Lot of DDOS attacks going around and good portion of that was pointed towards DNS infrastructure in general, over past couple of days. Could be one of those. 

I don't know what the cause was, but the issue was definitely DNS resolution. Couldn't get an IP for the site.

Is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest.....

I got scared and thought Vlad killed it like he did to Brian Enos 

It was Hillarys team taking down gun nut sights and finding anyone who said anything against her so she can start her list of whos guns she comes for first.  

Ok. I was getting paranoid. I thought it was just me.

you sit in a chair staring at a blank cad screen on monitor#1 waiting for an email with work to pop up on monitor #2 with only the noise of the cooler for the waterjet to fill your ears for 8 hours and see what it does to your head

I've only a layman' perspective but...

The Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) targeted one of the major Domain Name Service (DNS) providers. This service converts host names like www.google.com to IP addresses like 123.123.123.123 which is what the network gear needs to route data.

 

The attack itself was not complex: send a specific DNS query fast enough and it overloads the system. what made this attack unique was the volume. DNS is old...like one of the cornerstones of the Internet. As such it is distributed and designed to handle a hexadecimal shit ton of queries.

 

My understanding is that This attack used a query that is small but hard to distribute. This allows the attack to pinpoint a specific area. The attack also used a huge number of nodes. Usually these are PCs that have been infected with malware. This time it was devices attached to ur internet. The arrival I read mentioned DVRs and WebCams but it's possible that other things were involved. I read that devices with a particular chip from China were targeted for use. This chip had a hard coded user/password.

 

The nature of the attack was such that devices only needed to be accessed and not necessarily infected to be rolled into the Botnet. Owners would not know they're devices were involved.
