I never read the Gizmodo piece, because I think they're mostly trolls, but I really liked this response. Kudos to him.

- guelo 14y agoThe Gizmodo piece was better journalism than the nytimes or bbc articles which regurgitated Cloudfare's over the top PR uncritically.
- devindotcom 14y agoI disagree. Calling the story a straight-up lie was a mistake, and link bait to boot. I thought Biddle failed to understand what the risk to "The Internet" truly was, and how an attack like this (based on a known architecture vulnerability), if repeated or made more common or effective, could cripple a tier 1 provider and cause serious routing issues, among other things.
- lucb1e 14y agoBetter, but still a long way before it's factually correct.
- mtgx 14y agoNYTimes especially has been hyping up cyberattacks and cyberwarfare a lot lately.
- markisonfire 14y agoIn all fairness, the Gizmodo article was pretty well researched and informative. It was more like an anti-hype article - because that's what the headlines were. Interesting things did happen, but the internet was not "in danger" of being down.
