TLD DNS DDoS fact sheet released

Back in February, there was a rather large DDoS attack on the Internet's root DNS servers (TLD). There really wasn't many details on the attack, except for rumors that it originated somewhere in the Asia-Pacific region. Well now we have something to sink our teeth into. ICANN has released an official fact sheet with more information on the attack. There are still some unanswered questions, but this fact sheet is very concise and well put together. It covers details on the root server infrastructure including Anycast, DDoS, Zombies, and other aspects relevant to the attack.
