UltraDNS is back in business after the kind of DoS they are supposed to be in business to defend against.
Check out Brian Kreb's article here, from May-17-2006: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/05/blue_security_surrend ers_but_s.html Specifically this snippet: "Well, UltraDNS marketed its DNS Shield as a protection against exactly these same types of amplification attacks. Only in this case it doesn't appear to have worked -- though, to be fair I haven't heard UltraDNS's side of the story since they have yet to return my calls. No doubt they are busy putting out fires. At any rate, score another one for the spammers, I suppose. Update, 7:46 p.m. ET: I heard back from Neustar. Their spokesperson, Elizabeth Penniman, declined to discuss anything about today's attacks, saying only that "we have a handle on the situation and continue to work with service providers to ensure the best possible level of service to our customers.""
