The past days we have seen some real serious disturbances on very important services for the Internet to work. For the ones that want to learn more about what this is can find this Youtube video useful.
An idea of what can happen on services that operate on the Internet as the business model can be seen in this intervju that gives a good insight into the matter.
Some of the services that was affected by this attack is also covered in this post from yesterday. Gathering information from this incident from different sources online it shows how venerable services can be when “something” want to disturb fundamental services making the great Internet work.
I have several posts on different sides of design to secure an always on service. Maybe more than me should have a closer look and diversify the possible routs to service delivery.
