There’s been a new wave of these Name Server exploits to cause global “DNS Amplification” DDOS Attacks and some customers are asking for information and help in stopping their Name Servers being utilised for this undesirable network activity.
We’re available to help any Network Presence customer in checking and stopping any Name Server they may run within Network Presence, so customers please feel free to contact us to do this on your VPS or Colo service.
Generally there’s no charge for this to customers, as we’re glad to see updated and well configured Name Servers within our network.
I’ll post more information about this exploit and how to check and close it on the Bind open-source Name Server shortly.
Regards,
Richard.
