Media is calling it an "outage" and not an attack and insisting its contained or mitgated all while users have continued to complain about it for HOURS after.
The pundit claims, in the same breath, its not an attack but a failure of a primary DNS server. I truly cant overstate how fucking crazy one of those being compromised is, there is only 13 primary DNS nodes and I believe only 2 are in the US maybe more dont hold me to that but they make up the BACKBONE AND RIBS of the internet as a whole, they are built with massive amount of redundancy so if one "fails" there are others to take its spot with 0 downtime, these are called "hotsites". For this to have gone the way it did it could ALMOST only be a DDOS attack of absurdly huge proportions on the primary node for AWS DNS or possibly one of they key nodes itself. This is a seismic leap forward in offensive cyberwarefare and we genuinely dont have anything comparable, a 100,000 count bot farm is considered gargantuan for us on a state level, what happened to day represents hundreds of millions if not billions of bots to have strained a network of AWS size.
Hope to THE VERY LORD im wrong and being a faggot doomer but I worry we just witnessed the equivalent of what the Comanches did when the Texas Rangers showed up with 6 shot revolvers, when they had bows and arrows, it just wouldent even seem fair.
