Over the past year or two, someone has been probing the defenses of the companies that run critical pieces of the Internet.

* Level3 or similar. In that case we're fine.
* *.root-servers.net. That won't take down "the internet" though, just DNS resolution. However, since so many services depend on that, people who don't know how to use the internet without DNS, like 99% of its user, would be shut off. Still, you would still be able to reach any server by IP.
I guess I should take the link to VeriSign as a hint that it's root-servers.net. Too bad that these articles have to be so vague all the time because of the "anonimity" excuse. That doesn't help anyone, it just spreads FUD.
