Could this be a DDOS attack again ?

Problems are occuring here now in Leicestershire and just spoke to sister on other side of town same there, seems to be be dns issues again

Possibly, I wonder. Are the symptoms we are seeing now the same?
Like uno says though, could be a knacked or partially knacked dns.

I admit my knowledge of DDOS attacks is rather limited, but would not a DDOS affect all service, not just select websites, as appeared to be the case? That would be unless the DDOS was on the side of Google/bbc/yahoo but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case here.

The front page report on the last DDOS attack gave a link to a thread, it had redirects to other sites ands intermittant access to google bbc etc in it, looks the same this time

Belfast, Northern Ireland - yahoo & ebay, amongst others, are inaccessible at the moment.

If you can resolve the IP address, but not the domain name, it points very much towards NTL's 'infamous' DNS servers.

seems like NTL servers are getting dossed again.
if they cant control it i can see them losing loads of customers

Flubflow · 22-03-2006, 18:07

Newsgroups appear to have come back.
Google,yahoo now working.
(still on the cardiff proxy).

And in Harrogate/Knaresborough

This doesn't seem like a DDoS, more like a knackered DNS server due to the focused nature of the problem i.e. popular sites such as Google, Yahoo & the BBC.

Last time this happened I rang India (or NTL as it is otherwise known) and was told "no problems sir, reboot your stb".

I really hate NTL, if we could recieve Terristrial signals or were allowed to put a Sky dish up (building is listed and next to a cliff face) then I would drop NTL like David Seaman.

I hope this gets sorted soon and they offer a proper explanation.

Cheers

Seems my rejoice for it working was premature. Google once again down, now BBC is very weird (no stylesheet) and I've lost yahoo now too

I'd agree - for now, I'm surfing by IP, and all is fine.

Slow browsing, google not available. Ellesmere Port area, Cheshire.

They come and go, it appears to be fixed then seconds later fails again.
