If you're not part of the solution.... Precisely. Please review the data before posting 'omg google was hacked!' to public mailing lists.
bingo! from all appearances o google made a dns boo boo which partially damaged their own service for somewhat less than an hour. and they published a report, albeit one in which we engineers find far too little detail. o netsol was down for over a day. it was due to an attack. the outage affected many sites who pay netsol for the service. and they're still trying to pretend nothing happened at all. and we get no education on what happened so we have a chance of history not repeating itself. i bet that you can guess which i think deserves the attentions of the press (i.e. paul). randy
