Saw that TIFKAT suggests that customers manually change their DNS settings to sort out website access issues:
What actually happened? Seen suggestions that it was a DNS amplification DDoS that might have been related to Spark customers clicking on phishing messages that had them download some form of malware that compromised their computers.
Spark said:
�The root cause is likely to be a handful of customers on our network whose computers are affected by malware, generating high levels of traffic destined for overseas sites.�
Looks like it�s an ongoing issue too, as per the Spark service alerts.
Has anyone seen any more detail on the incident? If this isn�t super operational, please email me off-list.
Thanks
