I agree with this viewpoint, though I think it's also possible that a lone actor, frustrated with Obamacare, acted out using the only tools he knew in a 1/2 hour.
It wouldn't surprise me if healthcare.gov was very vulnerable to DDOS attacks - we are talking about a 2013 site which is hosted in a single data-center.
- AsymetricCom 13y agoI wonder if a five 9's site is possible from a single datacenter. I can't imagine why not, given it's 3,000m under a mountain.
- generj 13y agoA five 9's website is much easier to achieve using multiple, redundant, data centers. Otherwise you end up with unforeseen events, like a tornado taking out power, or a backhoe incident, or internet outages.
