China's Internet on early Sunday morning suffered a major distributed
denial of service (DDoS) attack that briefly disrupted and slowed access
to sites in the .cn domain.
The DDoS attack was the largest in history against the domain servers for
China's .cn ccTLD (country code top level domain), according to the China
Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), which administers the domain.
The first attack started Sunday around midnight Beijing time, and was then
succeeded by a larger attack at 4 a.m, the CNNIC said in an Internet
posting. A number of sites were affected, but Internet service to the
sites had been gradually restored by 10 a.m. Sunday
It's unclear where the attack originated from or if it was still

once more information was gathered. Chinese regulators have already
launched unspecified measures to protect the domain system, while CNNIC
has apologized for the disruption.
