Thread Name: Tech: A REAL Internet Shutdown - Malware
Subject: RE: Tech: A REAL Internet Shutdown - Malware
I thought the Internet was having issues yesterday. It went away, then I tried to call my ISP on my cell and THAT (cell service) went away. Called on the plug-in-the-wall phone and they couldn't help me so sent me to the local store 20 miles away. I got there, and they said "Oh yeah, nobody around here can get on. We think there's a tower down. We're waiting for [the other phone company] to crash." I briefly wondered if Anonymous had taken down the whole Internet (but how would we have known it was them?). I drove 20 miles back home and my Internet was back.

It makes a person wonder what it would take for the whole interwebby thing to be completely embuggered. Scary.
