Comcast DNS servers are being attacked ....


Its hard to believe Comcast is messing up this bad
on there own. I think Comcast is having there DNS servers
attacked. So far 3 times in a 2 week period their DNS
services come to a grinding halt..?? Most likely there
servers that run their DNS services on aren't config'd
properly or the server isn't config'd correctly.

Comcast should give more details on these outages. Alot
of people must be complaining. Comcast is going to lose some
$$$ for this issue...

Check out this write up about the current problem with DNS cache poisoning. I spent the last week learning about hacking, and handling hacking incidents, and it looks like what is happening to Comcast's servers are just the beginning. I personally have had Pacbell/SBC DSL for over five years and very little trouble in that time. But truth be told, it could happen to any ISP. Comcast has a history of poor customer service, and according to my neighbor, they need to go back and work on it some more. Either way, these problems WILL be occurring more in the future as vulnerabilities in the backbone of the internet are found.
