Internet search giant denies a hack attack on its server as the cause of a 15 minute or so outage on Saturday.
Google's search utility and many of its secondary services were all down from 6:45pm until 7:00pm ET this past Saturday. But the downtime of course made many wonder just what really happened. Google, however, has come out and said it was a DNS (Domain Name Server) issue. "It was not a hacking or a security issue," a statement from Google said. "Google's global properties were unavailable for a short period of time. We have remedied the problem and access to Google has been restored worldwide." Some visitors who went to Google during the outage were oddly re-directed to another site owned by SoGoSearch. Paul Mutton, an engineer at internet monitoring firm Netcraft, added to the New Scientist: "Their DNS servers simply seemed to break for a short while. They were not hacked and made to point at different servers." Source: market-day.net/2070/story.php |
