Web Host Shuttered by Cyber Attack

Submitted by admin on Wednesday, 26 May 2010No Comment

“Media Temple, the Web host for Adobe, ABC, Sony, NBC, Time, Volkswagen and Starbucks, was recently shut down by a distributed denial of service attack.

‘The outage began about 3:50 p.m. PDT [Tuesday], when Media Temple’s domain name servers were deluged by a flood of traffic coming from outside the U.S., and lasted less than an hour, according to the Los Angeles-based company’s blog,’ writes CNET News’ Elinor Mills.”
