DNS DDoS Attack

[Major Tom]

One of our providers of DNS services EveryDNS was DDoS attacked yesterday.
This caused hellskatzsqaud.com to become unavailable for much of the evening.

They have the issue under control.

Update #3: December 2st, 2006. EveryDNS is currently under a wide-scale DDoS attack. The attack is currently being mitigated and service is restored. All services are under close watch by a team of network administrators around the world.

I want to give a special thanks to Richard Steenbergen at nLayer for going above and beyond the call of any network operator to help keep EveryDNS online and to Barrett Lyon of BitGravity for his excellent abilities in turning a 400mbps attack into a 2mbps stream of valid DNS requests.
