Is DNS being attacked?

Lots of sites appear to be down, including facebook

DNS cannot find an IP for facebook.com

C:\Users\user>ping facebook.com
Ping request could not find host facebook.com. Please check the name and try again.

C:\Users\user>
 
Google's down.









Just kidding.


Whatever would we all do?!?!? <gasp> 😀

Might have to go to the freaking library and READ on our own if anyone recall's how to do that these days! (I have my doubts)

Being old sucks in a lot of ways but being able to cope without tech effectively is not one of them since it didn't exist when us older folks learned to do stuff!

I tried one of them "books". The stupid authors forgot to add links so it was just a big stack of pages. Like anyone has time to read through all the pages to get to the end.
 
Maybe not attacked but erased!

Imagine being that poor bastard. Both him (or her) and their manager is about to get roasted and probably fired.
