Key parts of the internet infrastructure face large-scale attacks that threaten the global system of web traffic, the internet's address keeper warned Friday.Sooner or later our stupid liberal mentality is going to do us in on the world stage where exploits of your "warm and fuzzy" ignorance of the real world is going to be the downfall of all of us.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) declared after an emergency meeting "an ongoing and significant risk" to key parts of the infrastructure that affects the domains on which websites reside.
"They are going after the internet infrastructure itself," ICANN chief technology officer David Conrad told AFP.
"There have been targeted attacks in the past, but nothing like this."
The attacks date back as far as 2017 but have sparked growing concerns from security researchers in recent weeks, which prompted the special meeting of ICANN.
The malicious activity targets the Domain Name System or DNS which routes traffic to intended online destinations.
ICANN specialists and others say these attacks have a potential to snoop on data along the way, sneakily send the traffic elsewhere or enable the attackers to impersonate or "spoof" critical websites.
"There isn't a single tool to address this," Conrad said, as ICANN called for an overall hardening of web defenses.
US authorities issued a similar warning last month about the DNS attacks.

I have to cry it all out because if I keep it all inside I'll explode. The notion of men crying is pretty much verboden in my lifetime.
It was not viewed as "manly" nor did it impart anything in the way of endearing thoughts in those witnesses of it ocurring.
Just a spectacle put on by a weak man unable to attain forward motion.
So to conform to those expectations of society it becomes an occult affair not to be shared before any prying eyes and that's how it's been forever.
I read how "soul cleansing" and "healing" the act of crying is supposed to be. I'm afraid I've never gleaned any of those benefits either.
Again, it's more of a release valve for all that I am and that which I've done as it pressurizes my existence to the breaking point at times.
Leaving me to pursue those avenues of relief as best I can.
I've suffered those consequences of my behavior after hours. I've pleaded with God to deliver me from the torture.
I've waded through the contempt of my peers who would shun me as the sniveling wreck I sometimes become ...
And so it has been for the entirety of my existence.
We cannot help who we are. It is said we can change what we are by evolving into something else that we become.
I only hope my final reward is good enough to pay those debts accumulated by my actions; or lack thereof.
The hopes and dreams of a man are measured primarily in those effects he has had upon others.
Therein lay the crux of the issue.

So today it's a week til St Valentines Day. No real anticipation here ... it's just that this will be the first year we won't be having any chocolates for the office. That ugly chocoholic in me has pretty much done me in on the candy front and I need to avoid it all like the plague. To top it all off we're having something of a heatwave here in February ... just the 80s but hey, where's my arctic vortex blowing cold air all over the peaches. Suffice it to say that the reason for the season rapidly eludes me given the state of my metabolic syndrome x and all the triglycerides and carbs I seem to be unable to avoid. Hope you have a better time than I'm having with all of this. Gearing up for the let down. |
