Is Google down?

 

[HomeLAN]

Back now, but it seemed to be down for about 4-5 minutes.

Lotsa internet attacks in the last 48. Its unpublicized. Its trying to self-correct as 'one of those things' without comment.

 

[HomeLAN]

Gmail's still down.

 

[unclehobart]

Probably under our right presevrving Patriot Act... to keep ypu happy, dumb, safe, and pre-convicted.

Gmail is a MESS tonight.

Charter cable isp has been acting up so bad, I can't tell when it's a site, or the isp.
They've been having major dns issues as of late.

My hotmail address is being pummeled by what I think is that virus. Mail after mail in the junk folder with randomattachment dot zip.

Yep, my work email is getting lots of those as well - pretty scary actually, cos some of the supposed email addys seem legit.

Ours too. I spoke with the admin, but he's so clueless .....

Hey, Prof. Do you know a way to block those? I get 'em from legit e-mail addresses too. I have antivirus removing the attachments, but I don't have direct access to the e-mail server (remotely served) and I don't know of a way to block them without blocking some legit e-mail as well.

 

[Professur]

Nope, nothing from the client-side. Server-side should be easy, but our admin's still faking it up as he goes along.

 

[Professur]

Google is denying that anything happened.

 

[BeardofPants]

Ours too. I spoke with the admin, but he's so clueless .....

So's ours... ya think they're related?

 

[BeardofPants]

I think work is just making it policy to block all zip files for the moment; anyone who needs to get a zip through will have to apply for special permission.

 

[Professur]

MD5 checksums. They're free. Use 'em.
