I have been finding things slow on the Internet today with many sites down. I have checked why and here is the reason.
"We are monitoring massive Distributed Denial of Service attacks all over the U.S. tonight starting at around 11:30 PM CST. As many as 5 of the 13 root nameserver have been down, up to 10 with massive packet loss." "It's all of us. We have 100% loss on Sprint and 40% on Verio and 70% on UUNET."
"I am thinking you will see it on CNN in the morning."
Here is a British info link:

It appears that all countries are affected and South Korea is wiped out entierly
So if the Internet is not working correctly for you and everyone else in the world today it is because the main providers of the Internet are undergoing a massive DOS (denial of service) attack.
