strange day today. We had a bad storm here that seems to be over for now but we did lose power a few times for a few minutes

**astnfan** · 08-25-2004, 12:44 PM

I read a post on here yesterday saying that some russian hackers were supposed to take down half the internet or somthing. I havent noticed anything.

Internet meltdown predicted for tomorrow

Set your watches

By Nick Farrell: Wednesday 25 August 2004, 07:41

A RUSSIAN computer security expert has predicted that a large chunk of the Internet will be shut down by terrorists tomorrow.
Aleksandr Gostev from Kaspersky Labs was speaking at a conference hosted by Russian Information Agency Novosti. The cyber terrorists main targets will be the US and Western Europe, he said.

Gostev said that the information on the attack could be found on "specialist web sites" although at the time of going to press the INQ couldn?t find them.

The story first appeared on the Lenta.ru web agency and might be as valid as this this one, however we are hedging our bets and buying in extra cans of beans.

This has to be bullshit. Routing has improved drastically over the last few years, I doubt we'll see anything

Seriously though, I am seeing the same thing. I have a half dozen sites I can't check stats on.

I had some problems earlier with everything but Google... but it only lasted a few minutes.

**Furious_Male** · 08-25-2004, 12:48 PM

I cant reach TCG or WEG at the moment. Been down about 15 minutes for me.

**loverboy** · 08-25-2004, 12:58 PM

same problems here, can't go through some popular sites a while ago. ICQ is also having connection errors for me.

ok, who pull the pull?

**enter »** · 08-25-2004, 12:58 PM

Unbelievable.

Can anyone see my sig or is it broken ? It looks like my host just went down, or at least I can't access them.

**Furious_Male** · 08-25-2004, 12:58 PM

I know yesterday and the day before there was a major problem in the New England states down through Ohio. Perhaps its the same issue. I cant connect to half of my sponsors at the moment.

Could possibly be east coast routing problems, download this program, enter a URL and trace. You will see exactly where it stops.

enter , your sig works for me.

**RicardoB** · 08-25-2004, 01:01 PM

I noticed a big drop in traffic today (more then 50%)

I posted that last night, and people didn't believe it would happen.

I can't access opensrs today, and a few other sites are slow as fuck

**JSA Matt** · 08-25-2004, 01:07 PM

Too funny,

Just died on me, looks like a router in Phoenix went down a minute ago. I sure hope Jupiter doesn't go down

edit: TCG is now down for me too, WEG is still up though

Thanks for the sig check, Matt. That link is down for me too and I'm in Phoenix.

The internet is a strange animal. It's weird I can still get gfy and I have 2 icq convos going on right now with no problems, and they couldn't be further away from each other and me geographicaly.

**ElvisManson** · 08-25-2004, 01:21 PM

**Holly** · 08-25-2004, 01:47 PM

It's driving me insane. I was trying to get to something on Slashdot earlier, and it was down. This board has gone down twice on me, once for almost 30 mins. It must be my isp/area because I noticed no one was bitching about it. I keep checking my servers every few minutes.

**shermo** · 08-25-2004, 02:16 PM

Hmm.. I've yet to notice it. I did read about the russian hackers wantin g to bring the net down, but I'm 100% unaffected so far. Maybe it's a routing problem? Try a traceroute.

**candyflip** · 08-25-2004, 02:43 PM

I've been waiting on some domains to resolve for a lot longer than it usually takes.

Whats up with the internet, many sites down!
