SO... TO FURTHER EXPLAIN THE OUTAGE...

DNS IS AN ADDRESSING MECHANISM FOR THE WEB. IT STEERS TRAFFIC TO IP ADDRESSES THAT CORRESPOND WITH TOP LEVEL DOMAINS.

IF SOMEONE DELETES THOSE ROUTES, THEN THE WEBSITES AND APPS ARE STILL LIVE - IT'S JUST THAT OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS'

SERVERS DON'T KNOW WHERE TO SEND THE TRAFFIC.

WITH THE NATURE OF THE WEB AND THE FUNCTION OF ROUTING, AS SOON AS 10 DNS ROUTES GO DOWN, 10 MORE POP UP. IT REPLENISHES ITSELF.

SO WHEN WE HAVE AN OUTAGE LIKE WE JUST DID, IT'S USUALLY ONLY A TEMPORARY THING - UNTIL THE SYSTEM

BASICALLY SELF-HEALS AND WE ALL GET THE "DETOURS" IN ADDRESSING SENT TO THE SERVERS WE DEPEND ON.

THE REASON I THINK IT WAS A TEST IS THAT ANYONE WITH THE CAPABILITY OF DELETING 75% OF THE DNS ROUTES ACROSS THE PLANET, COULD HAVE ALSO DELETED 100% OF THEM JUST AS EASILY. BUT

THEY DIDN'T.

I THINK THIS WAS A TEST TO SEE HOW QUICKLY THINGS GET BACK UP AND RUNNING. A TEST TO SEE THE PUBLIC REACTION. A TEST TO SEE THE MEDIA'S REACTION. A TEST TO SEE THE MARKET'S REACTION.

IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY A WHITE HAT OPERATION FROM THE VERY TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN.

AND TRUST ME - IF THEY WANTED TO TAKE IT OUT, THEY JUST PROVED THEY COULD... AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING.

BUCKLE UP! GOOD TIMES AHEAD!!
