Internet Outages - Saturday, 25-January-2003  19:10:20 (GMT +10) - by Agg 


 Andypoo sent word of a massive DDoS attack in progress on the internet's root 
servers. This is having an affect on many websites and other internet 
services. A few people are tracking the attack in this thread on 
WebHostingTalk and some comments here in our Networking & Internet forum. 
Current theory seems to be that it's a DDoS generated by an MS-SQL exploit.
