Goes to show how many more security engineers they need!
The Treasury Department, Secret Service, Federal Trade Commission and Transportation Department Web sites were all down at varying points over the holiday weekend and into this week, according to officials inside and outside the government. Some of the sites were still experiencing problems Tuesday evening. Cyber attacks on South Korea government and private sites also may be linked, officials there said.

well it is difficult to achieve, but DDOS can be defended. But if a hacker actually pollutes global DNS, then there is no way. Apparently, this seems a case of DDOS, but which kind of DDOS is still yet to be known.

Amazone's UDNS class noders were untouched by DD0s attacks after Amazon took swift measures after Neustar's UDNS service hadbeen targeted.
