August 03, 2003Microsoft gets DoS (not the OS)Well, I come back from a long weekend camping trip, and find a tonne of articles pointing fingers at Microsoft again. Why? Because apparently they got nailed with a DoS relating to a flaw in their platforms, which was turned on them to their own websites. So much so, that on August 1st for almost two hours, all of *.microsoft.com domains were unable to be accessed. You can read a snippit about it here. Microsoft apparently deflected this as a conventional denial of service, and will not acknowledge that it may be in relation to a vulnerability they announced a few weeks back. Of course, on a few underground lists, right now people are chanting cover-up or conspiracy. Who knows. But it goes to show you that DoS still plagues us all. |
