A fight between two European companies has significantly slowed the Internet, making it difficult for millions to access Web services such as Netflix, the BBC reported.According to the report, a Dutch hosting site called Cyberbunker is perpetuating an enormous denial-of-service attack against the anti-spam group Spamhaus. The attack — which is disrupting Spamhaus’s services by flooding the company with traffic — has apparently begun to affect the performance of unrelated services. A look at Akamai’s snapshot of world’s Web traffic shows congestion is up significantly in Western Europe and Britain, where the real-time Web monitor is picking up a nearly 10 percent increase in traffic.

 

Folks, this is some serious shite.  Perhaps the largest cyber-attack in history.  Whilst the DEM/MSM/AMM covers some kind of sliding mountain that affects five or six people, this is not covered.

Why?

  1. You’re right. I checked both foxnews.com & msn.com and found no mention of this.

    Why? I hope someone more knowledgeable than me gives a good answer to your question. Do you know why?
