Operation Blackout - What it means to you and how to cope
As I write this many people are living in fear that the Anonymous threat supported by Operation Blackout will actually succeed. If it does then all DNS traffic on March 31st will cease to function and bring the world to a screeching halt. No more Facebook, No more Twitter, No more online games
- Or -
This could be just an empty promise supported by an idle threat that was never intended to succeed. Either way Operation Blackout is a concern and should be addressed. To help you I have compiled a list of The top 17 things you may have to do if Anonymous brings down the Internet. Be sure to check it out.
On a more serious note I have to wonder about their timing. Anyone who has bought a domain name will know it takes a couple days for the domain to populate around the internet. It stands to reason that if the master DNS servers get overloaded the local DNS caches will continue to function for a couple days and likely ride out the attack. Next you have to consider the day they plan to do this, a Saturday?. It is a busy day off for most, a day of leisure. Wouldn't it make more sense to do this on a Monday? Finally, if a hacking group was planning something why bother telling the world about it? Doesn't that water down your threats?
Food for thought
One thing is for sure I'll be doing a few of the things on my list regardless if the Internet is up or not
