How a Dorm Room Minecraft Scam Brought Down the Internet
Just saw this on Mozillas site.
This has to be the single most cool botnet I've ever heard of.. 901 Gbps of spam, and Akamai gave up completely.. It's their only job!
I obviously don't advocate for any of this, but it is certainly some freaking cool code.
It at one point in an attack hit 1.1 terabits a second! That's absolutely insane traffic - there are going to be very few infrastructures (if any) that are built to handle that load.
Lol, I play Minecraft on Wii U.
A very interesting read... talk about insane power! :blink:
Feel the power.
