[ NNSquad ] More on NIST.GOV off the Net
More on NIST.GOV off the Net It appears the NIST.GOV DNS servers are indeed down. There is speculation that this is related to weather/power conditions. Perhaps. But at the very least, these are the sorts of situations one is supposed to plan for, especially distributing your DNS servers so that a failure in one region doesn't cut off connectivity to all of your facilities, everywhere. Perhaps there is some other explanation for the NIST DNS problems today. But in any case, the DNS has become a vulnerability in so many ways -- technically, politically, censorship, and more. It needs to be replaced -- yesterday. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
