Microsoft's contingency plan?

system · August 15, 2003, 3:51pm

From a netcraft.com query just seconds ago...

I just heard that Microsoft moved the updated site to Akamai, which uses

hmmm.....The link didn't work, but if you go under Internet Explorer and
go to "tools" - "windows update" it came up fine --- different web
address though

http://v4.windows <http://v4.windows> < http://v4.windows
<http://v4.windows>
update.Microsoft.com/en/default.asp> update.Microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Check this out... tried to go to the MS update site, and this is what I
got. I guess the attack is about to start....

I just heard that Microsoft moved the updated site to Akamai, which uses
Linux....
O sweet irony....

hmmm.....The link didn't work, but if you go under Internet Explorer and
go to "tools" - "windows update" it came up fine --- different web
address though

http://v4.windows <http://v4.windows> < http://v4.windows
<http://v4.windows>
update.Microsoft.com/en/default.asp> update.Microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Check this out... tried to go to the MS update site, and this is what I
got. I guess the attack is about to start....

The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL:
http://www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
<http://www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/>
< http://www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
<http://www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/> >

The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for
www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

The dnsserver returned:

Name Error: The domain name does not exist.

This means that:

The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.
