Re: [asterisk-users] Packet8 hacked
Service Alerts/Updates 1/23/2009 2:00am PST: Due to a global DNS (name server) issue with register.com, Packet8 servers and services became unreachable for customers using certain ISPs including ATT, Cox, and Verizon while customers on other ISPs such as Comcast and Level3 were impacted very briefly due to quick DNS update recovery. As of 1:30am PST our tests show that all DNS servers of the known impacted ISPs have been updated correctly, and Packet8 customers on these networks should be able to reach our services. If you experience any issue using your Packet8 service or reaching the Packet8 website, please reboot your network (by rebooting the DSL/Cable modem, router, Packet8 phones and computers) to clear any cache information. Unfortuately for some reason even though I rebooted my server timewarner didn't update etc, problem fixed itself in the morning.
