What's with the clickbait title? It is simply a falsehood. Here's the update from the horse's mouth: [5:19 AM PDT] We are investigating reports of problems resolving some DNS records hosted on Route53 using the third party DNS resolvers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 . DNS resolution using other third-party DNS resolvers or DNS resolution from within EC2 instances using the default EC2 resolvers are not affected at this time. [5:49 AM PDT] We have identified the cause for an elevation in DNS resolution errors using third party DNS resolvers 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 and are working towards resolution. DNS resolution using other third-party DNS resolvers or DNS resolution from within EC2 instances using the default EC2 resolvers continues to work normally. [6:10 AM PDT] Between 4:05 AM PDT and 5:56 AM PDT, some customers may have experienced elevated errors resolving DNS records hosted on Route 53 using DNS resolvers 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4. This issue was caused by a problem with a third-party Internet provider. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally.

The horse's mouth, in this case, speaks nonsense. Multiple /24s were announced more specifically to the DFZ, and that has absolutely nothing to do with Google's DNS resolvers. "Simply a falsehood," indeed. https://twitter.com/InternetIntel/status/988792927068610561 https://twitter.com/InternetIntel/status/988792927068610561 https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/04/suspicious-event-hijacks-amazon-traffic-for-2-hours-steals-cryptocurrency/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/04/suspi...

  The horses mouth actually does say it, you'll note they said "This issue was caused by a problem with a third-party Internet provider." As soon as I read this and saw the myetherwallet announcement I called it last night that's exactly what they did, and today I find out that was the case.
