For several days/weeks, I've been getting warnings (email and from various articles on major sites) about a DNS attack that was supposed to be launched today (8 July 2012).
So one would think :w00t: that everyone out there in Internet land operations would be well 'on their toes' today.
Fat Chance.
Although it appears that my wired ISP (Comcast) seems to be ahead of the curve (haven't seen any problems yet except for a couple of very intermittent DNS lookup errors/failures), my three wireless providers (Sprint, Verizon, and Clearwire) not so much.
Typical I guess these days. Most everything is run by folks who couldn't troubleshoot their way out of a web paper bag.
