[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] [Just for Info] DDoS Attacks against Dyn - Schneier on Security

Mon Oct 24 15:22:52 UTC 2016

Hello All,
I offer my sympathy to Dyn for this new DDos attack. I hope the industry will wake up and start collaborating to make it tougher for criminals to destroy the trust that we still have in the Internet before it is too late. Nobody seems to be willing to work cross-stakeholder groups to build tougher defenses. End-users are still the ones having to suffer most from these attacks (i.e. latest attacks on banking cards in India). The Internet is not only the turf of fiercely independent software developers/computer geeks. The philosophy of the Internet is a legacy of these people's mentality and personality. But the Internet is also the place where Joe the Plumber does his shopping. Let the sun shine through and make another pact that could change how the Internet is perceived. The Internet worked because it was the private sector acting as a cooperative. Geeks should not take the lead in defining everyone's experience and exposure to risk. Let's make the Internet a communal place and protect the common interest by infusing a different philosophy to it.    How about more BP Groups, WGs with manufacturers/end-users/Tech teams to raise the bar on security? I hope everybody is as fed up with these breaches as I am; enough anyway to change things and acknowledge the fact that Internet belongs to all of us. Nathalie

Subject: [gnso-rds-pdp-wg] [Just for Info] DDoS Attacks against Dyn - Schneier on Security    Dear All, I would like to share this with you. It will question  one more time how the Internet ecosystem  will handle this IoT era and what role we can (this WG)  play to ensure that the best measures / funtionalities /requirement are in place to prevent or reduce  such attacks on the DNS infrastructure. Good reading. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/10/ddos_attacks_ag.html Best Regards
