I am as well surprised this hasn't been covered more. This has caused serious downtime to a number of medical ASP solutions that I am aware of effecting operations at some of the East Coasts most well recognized hospitals.

Ultimately this issue shows how truly vulnerable the Internet is. We were all sitting around waiting for a "worm" to cause trouble on April 1st; this issue takes the cake.

Regards,
Phil

Where has been the coverage on this?  Our sites www.bible.org and
others were denied DNS service yesterday and today. The
only report was on twitter and http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/638/1051638/register-com-suffers-dos-attack
