"In this case, Spamhaus's Domain Name System (DNS) servers were targeted"
I'm not sure to understand why this should slow down the whole internet. It seems to be only for email filtering, not for the web, and only those ISP that use their service should be impacted, and only when their DNS cache is not triggered. Am I missing something ?

- vidarh 14y agoThe claimed slowdowns would be due to congestion on core routers due to the sheer scale of the attack, not anything to do with Spamhaus itself.
