The FBI is investigating the latest DOS attack on the internet. DOS or Denial of Service attacks overwhelm networks with data until the networks fail.
Most people were unaffected by the attack because it lasted only 1 hour.
This latest attack was considered one of the more serious attacks ever to occur. Seven of 13 servers that control the internet were attacked. Two servers also had issues. The hour long attack started Monday night at 5pm. |
