| Last night there was an Denial of Service attack on 3 of the 13 DNS root servers. There was no noticeable damage done, or drop in performance. What did make this attack special was it was the largest attack on the DNS servers since 2002 and it lasted for about 12 hours. The attackers attempted to hide their identities (most likely using anonymous proxy servers), but some were tracked to South Korea. The investigation is still underway.
