It got no press (because people don't like to admit to these problems) but a DOS attack took down the Internet for NIH on Monday this week, which in turn killed the DHHS web site and almost all of the NIH web sites. It was apparently an attack on one machine inside NIH, strange shit eh?? I am probably breaking some law with this info, right?
At first I heard it was human error on the firewall's configuration. Hmm, what is the truth here? We will probably never know.
