MSN bboard down

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

10:03PM Tuesday. MSN bboard just went down. All rooms closed. Looks like the same "denial of service" kind of attack that hit eBay and Yahoo.

Address effected: http://beta/chat.msn.com

Wish these "denial of service" attack folks would stop. I can't think of anything to be gained by these "child like" attacks for no gain I can see, maybe I'm missing something??

And Yahoo has now distributed a bug into its email system!

Had a lot of trouble getting on AOL tonight too. Took two hours, to get past the busy signals and "no carrier signal." Thought It was getting hit too.
