Our commercial and non-profit sites are down, but our clinical patient portal is still up. Email is very slow.

Is it just a coincidence that two out of two candidate sites where I tried to make donations today were “server not found”?

I believe we can count on more of this until election day.

I wonder if these are the same hackers that attacked Nachumlist before.

Yeah it’s just a coincidence.

I’m sure this is affecting candidates across the board if it’s a DNS attack aimed at a web hosting company.

Most campaigns are likely not tech savvy enough to know about or care about uptime availability or have back up web hosting. I would be amongst the first to declare this conspiratorial but it’s just a godaddy.com thing.

This is nothing more than aiming a shotgun at a big publicly known company that does what they do and pulling the trigger regardless of which web sites come down.

They weren’t fans of their superbowl ads?

sorry for being too flippant about the scenario,, I hear ya on the economic impact, Sounds like thousands of sites affected, I bet they double triple check their procedures for maintaining network integrity in more after this .. when DNS crashes, Life is bad .

I used to do ‘mission critical’ support for callcenters .. when the calls don’t flow.. series kaching damage happens..
