    Default Anybody here affected by today's dyndns ddos attack?

    I checked a few times today and didn't seem to have any problems. We're hosted Southeast USA and it seemed mostly north east and mid east were affected. Anyone notice any problems here?

    I didn't, but traffic seemed slow today from what I could see.
    But, fridays can be slow anyways, so not sure.
    I had no problems though.

    Had some MAJOR issues yesterday morning...

    And our work phone system is internet-based too, so no calls could be made (a mixed blessing )

    I think from what I've read its going to be off and on until after the US elections. Hackers protesting media bias and corruption or something.

    I'm in the Midwest (north central Illinois) and didn't notice any slower or down internet service, I didn't even know there were any internet issues in the midwest, as being reported in this thread - this is the first I'm learning of it happening at all. I was on yesterday partially in the daytime until 6 pm, then I wasn't on again until 11 pm to 3 am or so, no issues at all. No problems now, either.

    Yeah, I usually check downdetector to see what's going on. I've not been affected by any of the attacks due to using the Google dns at home like johnvanvliet. I switched to it a couple years ago when time Warner had their big dns outage.
