Network Solutions has DDoS Problems: Second Dose of Cyber Attack
Problems in Past Month

"The facts are that Network Solutions is dealing with a significant
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) that started over 24 hours ago
and there has been corruption of customer DNS records. I pride myself
on the fact that over the past three decades in the industry, that I
get it right. This time I did not and hence the request for
forgiveness. As a point of clarification, the June instance got
visibility because it involved Network Solutions customers having
their DNS name servers replaced with the name servers at ztomy.com.
Cisco tracked this activity and its blog on the subject received
industry attention. And it should have, since the estimates at the
time were that nearly 5000 domains may have been affected."
