The Akamai attacks started in the morning and it was detected by Keynote Systems, a web tracking company that is able to track the load and bandwidth on the Internet. According to Keynote they saw an "Internet performance issue" this morning ... They have tracked the attacker back to person that is at the Akamai Technologies ISP. No other information has been given to us at this time. We do not know if the FBI is working on this issue right now, but we expect them to do so.

This seems pretty thin. The supply of uninformed speculation and dubious "experts" clearly exceeds the demand. I suggest we all wait until Akamai has concluded their post-mortem. -- Daniel Golding Network and Telecommunications Strategies Burton Group
