Store you data in The Cloud!...........................yeah, riiiiight..................

There is no transport technology, even in the internet backbone, that reaches 1tbs.

The Backbone is multiple 40gbs trunks, meshed.

1tbs to a single target is just not possible.

The first "D" in DDoS means what?

[Robert DeLong]

distributed denial of service

the intentional paralyzing of a computer network by flooding it with data sent simultaneously from many individual computer

[Mark17]

I wonder if the Russians did it? 😁

[Mr. K]

Keep this in mind for any companies who want to manage their data “in the cloud”

I would never even think about doing that.

[Robert DeLong]

Either them or the Chinese I would suspect.

Mueller would look into it but he sees no collusion related to Trump. 8>)

I just had to reboot my Internet connection like 15 minutes ago. Don’t know if it’s related.

Rhetorical question?

Office 365 includes licenses to download the Office programs. You don't have to use any of the cloud features if you don't want to. But there's a ton of useful stuff in there.

The net is dragging today.

[Mr. K]

OpenOffice gives you 90% of what Microsoft office gives you, for free.

Any way to get the ‘notes’ under that map? I use to have that, now I just get the attack map.
