Massive online web attack - BUT THE BEEB SURVIVES!

haha... lots of my work sites are offline, but I can still get to the beeb!

 

And it's only going to get worse with the IoT's producing some of the shittiest, most insecure code on the planet.

 

It'll take more than the Russians to bring down the beeb.

 

Yeah - I didn't see much hiccup at all, but I'm on OpenDNS for external stuff. That said, they do have some issues from time to time. They're not completely infallible.

And the IoT reference - I couldn't agree more. My company says they're heavily committed to IoT, and we produce some pretty shitty code in some of our products. LOL

 

But they are cheap to buy right? That's what is important.

 

IoT = Internet of Things?

 

Internet of a stupid fad that's going to fade away for the most part.

 

Yep...

IoS was taken or they would have called it the Internet of Shit.

 

I have no idea what is going on in this thread. The beeb is working and so is rrw and the three or four other sites I check out.

 

Just wait until a future AI fridge that refuses to let you grab another beer.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that Dave."

 

That fridge would he shot. Then be on Craigslist.

 

But you can't sell it up there because the fridge will keep flagging it and you're stuck with it.

 

"Please stop, Dave. I'm afraid."
