'Historic' Web Attack Didn't Cripple The Internet And Is Over Anyway

http://j.mp/10l0cbr  (NPR)

     Well, there are two things everyone needs to know this morning:

     - "Companies that monitor Internet traffic" say the attack is over. (The Wall Street Journal, in a pay wall-protected report.)

     - The claim that this "biggest in history" attack caused chaos on the
       Web "would be exciting and scary, except it's just not true."
       (Gizmodo)

 - - -

The attack was mostly hype, as earlier noted.
