Default AT&T hit by DDoS attack, suffers DNS outage

Quote:
By Martyn Williams | IDG News Service

A distributed denial-of-service attack aimed at AT&T's DNS (Domain Name System) servers has disrupted data traffic for some of the company's customers.

The multi-hour attack began Wednesday morning West Coast time and at the time of this writing, eight hours later, does not appear to have been mitigated.

At&t was or is on strike and has been for a couple of months so it may be related to the strike.
