That's not as bad as a provider trying to coverup and downplay a breach where
CCs were taken, I guess. It took them about that long to make a blog post
about it!
How do they have DNS issues for 9.5 hours? It should be as simple a fix as a
reboot of the DNS server in this case.
Ah, no. There's almost nothing involving hosed DNS that involves rebooting
a nameserver. Nameservers are typically not Windows boxes. (standpoint: I
ran some of the largest nameservers on the enter network many years ago, and
I run some rather non-trivial ones now)
