Last night late when the steam site came back up I think they posed that they were
getting DOS'd and the site was on the same pipe as the rest so everything was down.
Wounder if that is the case again today.
Nice single point of failure.
You have a good point, but I don't think all blame can be attributed to
valve and their lack of handling DOS attacks. I mean come on, SOME
blame has to go to the attacker.
I personally lay no blame on valve for not being able to handle an
outside attack, I don't think they had that in mind when designing their
system, and even if they did have it in mind, there isn't much you can
do about a DOS attack (unless you have control of a higher level router-
which I don't think they do).
Regardless, it sucks that I can't get to my server (through the steam
client) and it sucks that I can't play CS through steam.
Of course, then again, how do we know valve is getting DOS attacked?
They could just be making that up to cover their own ass :)
