DNS cache poisoning attack for first time on http://www.stephenclinton.com

The world has seen some major DNS attacks lately.  And yet again thousand were affected yesterday!
These seem to connected to what China and Google have been going through over the past month.

According to GVO president Joel Therien "  Hey Stephen,  I just wanted to let you know what is
going on.  Some jerk is trying to high jack our DNS upstream.  We are talking with ATT and Time Warner
our fibre providers right now   Ill keep you posted on what is going on with  the network issues. --Joel Therien
President GoGVO.com"

Mr. Therien's company offers a great deal of web tools to it consumers, you can see them all here and they were  all affected yesterday!

But since I own my domain and host it with them Mr Therien keep me and all his customers with up to the minute details on what was going on.     I  found this really refreshing to have this great consumer support.

So what happend is this : DNS cache poisoning is a maliciously created or unintended situation that provides data to a caching name server that did not originate from authoritative Domain Name System (DNS) sources.

Wow way over this writers head, so thank  god the good folks over at GVO that look after me
with great support.
