Death of Internet.

"Sri Lanka's high court has ordered the seizure of an Indian cargo vessel which allegedly cut a submarine cable connecting the island's telecommunications subscribers with the rest of the world.

"The court ordered that the vessel, State of Nagaland, be held at the Colombo port where it berthed on Sunday after accidentally severing the cable known as the SEA-ME-WE-III with its anchor."

Film at 11.

"FWIW, we (Nordunet/Sunet) today saw one of the larger dDoS attacks we've seen so far in our end of the net, totaling around 2MPPS toward a single host. It was coordinated, wery well-spread (came in through both transit providers at equal balance, and almost as much over the REN connection towards the rest of Europe and some spillage over private peers.) and persistent. We've had to deploy several layers of null0 routes to fight it, (our transit providers have been very helpful, btw.) but service to anything except the attacked host has not been affected much."

On daily. Somewhere.
