if you meant me - it is none-news. Or, it became none-news. Because: |
| 8 |
everybody already reported it. Spamhaus was hit hard. But at no point |
| 9 |
was 'the internet in danger'. London exchange had a bit surplus traffic |
| 10 |
which resulted in some irregularities - for a whole hour. Frankfurt |
| 11 |
didn't measure anything outside of the usual statistical noise. |

But somebody had to blow it up. And even more people jumped on it. Boohoo. |
| 15 |

So the next time you start insulting people, base your findings on more |
| 17 |
than a blog written by those guys who have an economical interest to |
| 18 |
blow the whole mess out of proportion. |

300gbit/s sounds like a lot. London exchange does 1tbit/s on a normal |
| 21 |
day. Frankfurt 1.5tbit/s on average. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
And they have reserves. |

|
| 25 |
Of course, those responsible - all those guys with unpatched boxes whose |
| 26 |
little zombies took part in this attack, need a good kicking. But that |
| 27 |
is no excuse for spamming mailing lists with something the media already |
| 28 |
abused to no end. |
