Guess what brought the Internet down yesterday!

Low level web devices such as DVRs and baby monitors and other low level devices were infested by a virus to perform a DDOS attack at DYN a site that acts as an address book for the major companies that were attacked yesterday..

It wasn't a an attack by another country ie China or Russia. They are investigating the source of the attack as in who infected all of these low level devices with very weak passwords.

DDOS or "nuke" is a way to flood a web with TCP/IP packets that are empty. They have been around awhile. DYN is a "Router" to different main Internet companies. Just an easy central point to flood everyone.
