If you can manage to take down all the root DNS machines it’ll work. The “surviving nuclear war” thing was basically just having multiple DNS geographically separated and figuring they wouldn’t all get nuked. A web based attack doesn’t have that problem, geographical separation is meaningless. But you still gotta knock them all down for it to work.
I have two families flying on Saturday. Two adults in one, and two adults and two grandchildren in the other.
Since my husband just died, I am feeling faint.
Please tell me that messing with the internet will not affect flights and travel plans!
