Submission + - Register.com suffers DDOS attack (theinquirer.net)
edmicman writes: "The Inquirer is reporting on recent denial-of-service attacks on Register.com. Our business website domain is registered under register.com, and hosted ourselves. Yesterday afternoon, we started getting reports of problems resolving to our mail server, also self-hosted. A Twitter search returned a flurry of posts pointing to Register.com being hit. The same thing happened this afternoon — and this time it was all DNS servers for our domain, not just the MX records.
What bothers me, is that Twitter has been the only place to find any info about this. Nothing on the main news sites, and nothing on the tech sites. Register.com's site, if will come up, has nothing.
Could this possibly be related to Conficker?"
