This does raise our awareness of securing the IPAWS system.  I am sure
that is a high priority at FEMA as it should be for all of us.

Hello All
 
Iy lookss like Go Daddy is back up, at least I can get into my two email
accounts and it looks like I am not missing any mail !!!!!
I am sure some one way up in Uncle Sams food chain will be looking into
this problem !!!! 
i dont think its 3-4 kids playing in the basement that caused this !!!

>Probably 3-4 kids in their parents basement with a few hundred thousand
zombie machines brought DNS and Registrar GoDaddy to it's knees for
several hours today.

>This is why FEMA and the FCC screwed the pooch when using a DNS based
system that they have no control over.

>But, what do we know, we only deal with it every day, god forbid we be
right...
