DoS attack blamed for Internet outage!

by Donna Buenaventura Nov 28, 2003 1:54PM PST

A denial of service attack on security website Zonelabs has been blamed for major disruption of the Internet over the past couple of days.

According to an anonymous NTL employee's posting on www.frogger.uklinux.net, the DoS attack was launched from 'someone in Eastern Europe': 'NTL was used as a stepping-stone from which an attack on Zonelabs was launched. BT and Pipex were also affected, although not as badly, it would appear.'
