Hate to say it folks - but I told you so a long time ago this was going to
happen.  If you want to attack the Internet - you don't attack the root
servers - you attack .com name space.  Once .com name space is offline a lot
of the net just twinkles out of existence.

Being the most popular name space also makes .com the most vulnerable not
recommended to support infrastructure.
