Someone successfully shut down many websites Friday, attacking a crucial part of the internet that has been made more vulnerable due to an Obama administration decision to surrender American control, according to experts.
Websites like Twitter, Spotify, Reddit and many others were not working for a large portion of U.S. citizens Friday, after unknown hackers breached the servers of Dyn, a major domain name system (DNS) host. Essentially the yellow pages of online addresses, DNS is the technical network that converts web address names into numbers.
We began monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure. Some customers may experience increased DNS query latency and delayed zone propagation during this time, Dyn announced in a published update.
The cyber-crime, which was likely conducted by a syndicate, issued a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which renders certain networks and websites inaccessible to users. The hacker(s) bombarded part of the internets infrastructure by directing several devices and the respective unique Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (the numerical label assigned to every device) to targeted online systems. Dyns DNS became inundated with so much traffic, it could no longer facilitate the navigation of the web.

am trying to do several things now
Like fighting the big fight against the outage that wasn’t?
However, I would suggest, Zippy, that you take some time to learn the facts on the issue before attacking me and putting a turd in first post.
So you wish to dictate which post I choose to point out your paranoia?
Why? Isn’t there something else you might more easily control?
Your bowels perhaps?
Oh, and if you care to put your credentials forward regarding your academics, experience, and English expertise, I suspect I will exceed them.
I’m Batman and I’m not crying wolf or harping on about the sky falling.
Cheers.
Cheers to you, too, Zippy. Still waiting for those credentials...
Since you like to break it down:
bushwon: I am trying to do several things now...
Zipgun: Like fighting the big fight against the outage that wasn’t?
~~Are you not able to read?? I stated multiple times that none of the experts said that the internet was going down permanently...However, this article (as well as others) seems to draw a line to the fact that there was an outage, and stopping outages going forward is directly related to the transfer...But we are all supposed to listen to you, prince of snark—again, what is your expertise?
~~Actually, prior to the deadline, I did try to stop the transfer—spent hours posting articles, talking to people in Washington, etc...I failed, but I ask you, Zipgun, what exactly have YOU personally done recently to guard and promote liberty and freedom besides post snarky trollish comments on an internet forum?

~~I am not dictating what you post...however there is such a thing as being obnoxiously rude—which your reputation supports...BTW, actually, I am in full control of my bowels as I take probiotics. My bowels are just fine, thanks to Natren Healthy Trinity, but thank you for asking.

Zipgun: I’m Batman and I’m not crying wolf or harping on about the sky falling.
~~Seriously?!? This is your response to claiming your superior expertise and intellect? Batman?? What does that have to do with anything? So posting articles citing experts who are concerned about the internet transfer is crying wolf?
~~Hmm, I bet you were one of the normalcy bias morons who criticized those of us warning early on about Obamacare and the immigration issue as crying wolf too...Sheesh!!
Should the internet go down for good, your snarky comments are one thing I would not miss!
For anyone interested in actually reading up on the subject here are some articles~~Arthur Wildfire! March and other Freepers have posted many too:

Sorry, I am not going to debate this issue with you...the time for debate was prior to October 1.
I don’t know your expertise, but I have read so many articles on the subject and my common sense tells me that if Obama wants it, and Mr. Trump and Jim Robinson don’t, it is not a good idea to transfer control...
This article, as well as many others, supports the premise that it was a bad idea to transfer any type of control, and it will impact free speech cost, identity theft etc.
I suggest you look what I have posted below—Look at the second item..a video post by an expert. Look thru the other articles noting people such as Cruz, Trump, Bolton, Gaffney, etc. unequivocally stating that all aspects of internet control should remain here.

There will just be many internets. Is is not a big problem. The UN Dictator will just own their own.
People will choose which internet they want.
It is good Obama sold the internet, because that highlighted the vulnerability. The solution will be Multi-Internet just like universes, Multi-verse.
No worries. :-)
Excellent Graphic!!
I am opting for Necronet the internet of Underverse -
With all due respect, did you read any of the articles I posted to you or any of Arthur Wildfire! March research? Both differ with your opinion...Sorry I disagree and so do many others.
Not sure what all you are exactly trying to say.
Assuming /sarc as none of the links work ;)
With all due respect, I appreciate your reply, however, the articles to which I linked disagree with your conclusions...I am providing links...Where are yours assuring that there will be no changes when others are saying just the opposite? Frankly, no offense, but some of what you say sounds like it came off the ICANN website page...Why should I trust them? Again, read some my links and those by Arthur Wildfire! March.
You did not answer my question as to whether you read the links—I have a dozen threads under my name that basically refute what you are saying...I have a sneaking suspicion you did not read them as you did not reference them.
You know, just sayin’, but you are on the side of Obama, UN, Soros, and the Technocrats—Zuckerberg, Gates, Schmidt, et al. They really wanted this ICANN transfer just as they really want net neutrality too—do you? I pretty much know my position supports freedom, liberty, and national sovereignty when I am running against their grain...
As I stated a few posts ago, I did not want to debate this, and this has turned into a debate. I have a big problem with the transfer and obviously you are one who has no problem with it...My posting this thread was really a comment on the transfer taking place due to citizen inaction, a category into which you would obviously fall as you have no problem with it and actually seem to support...
I am sticking with the conclusions of the threads I posted which state the transfer is problematic for one reason or another.
BTW, I hope in 10 years, John Bolton, Frank Gaffney, and others are proven wrong and you are correct.
Too long, didn’t read.
Brevity is the soul of wit and I see you’re only halfway there.
Of course you wouldn’t...Like I care LOL
As I said, post really is for readers seeking to learn about the issue rather than post ignorant snarks.
Oh, and since you were so “helpful” to point out my not capitalizing “I,” let me share that you forgot a comma between 2 independent clauses joined by a conjunction...Just sayin’.
Cheers.
You are indeed helpful.
Now go back to saving the world.
They need you.
‘The US does not and has never controlled the internet, ICANN does not control the internet and never has. It is a network of networks.’
First off, Dallas, you would need to believe that Senators Jeff Sessions, Grassly, and Mike Lee are fearmongers regarding ICANN. You would also have to call DONALD TRUMP a fearmonger on the issue.
And secondly: your claim is completely uninformed:
Registry Operator Code of Conduct.
The federal government had legislated ICANN to hold that legal power. But through their renewable contract they had authority to keep ICANN reined in. It was a rare success story in recent federal legislation — now expired thanks to uninformed opinions such as yours.
> The biggest concern is that countries who dont value internet freedom, who silence online speech and censor the web, will be able to directly shape internet policy, Drew Johnson, national director of Protect Internet Freedom, told TheDCNF.
This was the goal all along. Some central authority controls it now. Who is the question though we can guess.
Had missed this post, but it is enlightening! Thanks for posting it.
Watched video at your source, Project Internet Freedom, very funny

Unfortunately, not sure how much success they are having with their efforts though...
