Internet Terrorism? Internet backbones are going down..

[BLAZE86]

Taken as of 1:30am EST

Internet Health Report

I'm not sure.. but I've been seemingly having alot of problems with alot of programs that actively need to connect to the internet to function.. EA download Manager for example, Mcafee Site Advisor for another example..

Could just be just them.. could be the backbones themself's having problems..

But what I do know is.. that STORM WORM virus that was in the news alot during valentines has possibly been traced to Russia.

Common sense though tells, if mostly all our backbones go down.. it's either a wide spread power outage across the entire USA or.. a innate attack unleashing WW3.

This might have something to do with the economy, and stock market too.

Just my opinion.

P.S. Do snipers tend to have a paranoidness when in the field? Would it save there life? I get pretty paranoid so easily with what I see on the internet these days.. Should I be?

Further more.. Like I said in other threads I've reformatted 2 times this week trying to fix problems with programs.. But it turned out to be the internet itself..

Maybe that's why Mundane was lagging out on my server.

not only the net, but the wireless networks have been wacky lately too. creepy possibilities no doubt

[DominiKing]

am kinda lost, what does this all mean?

[FuzzyLogik]

youtube was running like crap too.... pinging their site was taking twice as long as normal

[BLAZE86]

Alot of programs that actively use the internet to work correctly did alot of updating to there products yesterday / today..

adobe flash hasn't pushed there newest version up to the site yet.. and for some reason its not automatically updating itself.. in order for me to use EA downloader.. manager I had to go into my system32/macromed or macromedia folder and click a few things in there to get it to update manually.. Its not updating itself automatically at all thou, the adobe flash player that is might be due to the internet being slow too.. so no idea heh.

I also noticed when I reformatted.. even my automatic updates for windows didn't even pull up the yellow shield icon telling me I have updates to install.. I had to go to Microsoft and do it manually. This was like 2 days ago.
