Trying to figure out why, I found an interesting article on the front page at http://isc.incidents.org/. Seems that the problems at Akamai are screwing over Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Fedex, Xerox, Apple, and others. Whatever happened to my decentralized net with no single point of failure?"

    The code was taken from a hacked Linux computer at Mainsoft. It was reported elsewere (you might even find the old articles via Google)--but it wasn't reported on Slashdot. One poster even investigated things for himself:

    Do a Google search, it was widely reported on most of the other tech sites.
