Thanks for the heads up. I just sent an email out to my companies staff to keep an eye on our own customers if they are noticing any

Times like this, makes you curious what kind of infrastructure
register.com has? How does one protect against DDOS?
this is not rocket science....srsly... <http://www.verizonbusiness.com/Products/security/network-based/> as per usual, vzb's website is a poor excuse for a marketting tool (or sales tool, or information gathering tool.. ugh) but, bullet #2 is one option (that register.com I think actually was offered at one point in time...) is 3250/month cheaper than sla payouts from 3 days of running outages each year or so? -chris
