[Fritzms]

[fairguy]

I bet Google stock will get slammed on Monday let's see how much it will go down.

Anyone seen this?

What’s with this page? Looks like it was hacked.

I found this link here:

Interesting.

[howiejs]

how long was it down for?

[incrediBILL]

This is amusing as my wife was unable to access Google for about 30+ minutes today while I had no problem.

Only explanation I had was my browser was up with a cached IP from the last time it resolved Googles DNS so I was seeing everything perfectly fine while wifey still got errors.

Oh well, accellerate that.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Googling stopped for 15 minutes on Saturday.

The world's leading internet search engine shut down from 6:45 to 7 p.m. eastern time, according to Google spokesman David Krane.

"It was not a hacking or a security issue," said Krane. He said the problem was related to the DNS, or Domain Name System, though Krane did not elaborate. The DNS translates domain names for computers.

"Google's global properties were unavailable for a short period of time," Krane said. "We've remedied the problem and access to Google has been restored worldwide."

Interesting G would say it was a generic issue. I found this over at Turboblogger:

Something isn't right about Googles answer. During the outage, I did a fresh DNS lookup of google.com and the IP address came back just fine, but the site would not load using google.com, but would load via the IP address given on the DNS lookup. We might get a different story when the full timers get back to work on Monday.

I think google crashed under the weight of their convoluted algorithm. Maybe they were tinkering with it yet again and pushed it too far...the machines rebelled and went on strike.

"Something isn't right about Googles answer. During the outage"

admitting you got hacked it's bad for business. If you're hiring at MIT and have bazillions of PHDs, (regular) people assume that you're unhackable. Now with all the privacy issues, this is even worse. Bad timing for G.

However, Krane indicated that the company is treating it as a DNS issue. Problems at this level would almost certainly involve someone accessing one of the main servers and reassigning Google's address to a third party. (my bold)

In 2003 a sustained denial of service attack partially shut down many parts of the DNS system, and last month the National Academies Research Council warned that the system is in need of an urgent upgrade.

This doesn't add up for me. My earnings were off 50% for a Saturday.

["It was not a hacking or a security issue," said Krane. He said the problem was related to the DNS, or Domain Name System, though Krane did not elaborate. The DNS translates domain names for computers.]

Is this another way of saying they forgot to re-new their domain registration?

[Craven de Kere]

Since when is DNS poisoning (which is what it looks to have been) not hacking?

[KrazyKid]

damn, wish i would have seen this. course it had to happen on the day i don't google something or look at my ads :)
