A few weeks ago, there was tons of dns pounding all over the net. Today, we see registrars going dark because of dns issues. Today, people think Conficker will "do" something. I am puzzled. Maybe it is just 04/01 paranoia?
Thought of one more thing... Wasn't Conficker also configured to try and register a ton of randomly generated domains? Two registrars go dark today? Ok, put the imagination on hold... -- Steve Equal bytes for women.
