Unfortunately, it's not the first time it happens, my app is down and customers unhappy.
I always wonder, why is it that someone wants to attack a small company like DNSimple ? Is it that they were blackmailed and did not surrender to the criminals? If so, why would anyone be interested in blackmailing such a small company?
- whafro 12y agoMore likely, I'd guess based on past experience, it's that someone wanted to take down one of their customers, and decided (or found) that the weakest link was the DNS provider.
- callmeed 12y agoMy guess is one of their customers was being attacked–and this was the easiest route to get to them.
- p8952 12y agoIt could also be an attack against one of their customers, again for the same reasons. DNS is a very weak point of the overall system so a very good place to target.
