DNS servers

This particular attack actually effected me!

Our public DNS server is (we now know) part of the Yahoo DNS servers. So at 7:am that morning I got a bunch of DNS alerts on my cellphone and in emails for servers on the west coast. I thought there had been an earthquake in San Francisco!

Ultimately it didn't kill our service, but did manage to give us about 100 DNS timeout errors all morning.

As for the actual attack, they seemed to get it shut down fairly quickly... Less than a few hours.

Also, this was the day my yahoo email account was getting upgraded and I couldn't get email all morning either!

Re: DNS servers

Comcast uses Yahoo DNS servers?

Doesn't Comcast have its own?

Wouldn't they only be referring to the Yahoo ones when their last resolution of Yahoo domains had expired?
