According to Exodus' trouble ticket it is a BGP instability between several locations in their network and with BGP customers. Whether it was a security issue, vendor bug or operator error hasn't been determined yet. Exodus customers should contact Exodus customer service for more information, reporters should contact Exodus media relations for more information. I don't know if Exodus will have any public statement. On Sat, 23 June 2001, "Richard A. Steenbergen" wrote:

Maybe all this DDOS discussion is what killed Exodus?
Websites and services all over the place seem to be down. Including my favorites like freshmeat, slashdot... and one of our e-commerce credit card processors: CyberSource
The common route seems to take them into Exodus.net but not out again.
Any idea whats up?
Maybe they couldn't pay the bills and someone reposessed their routers? :P
