[LINK] Microsoft is no more!!

[Scott Howard]

Well, www.microsoft.com anyway.

For the past few hours the microsoft.com name servers have been unreachable,
leaving http://*.microsoft.com, plus ftp, mail, etc, as well as a few
other MS domains, off the air.

Checking their name servers shows that all 4 are sitting (basically) on the
same bit of wire - all within the same class C :


Non-authoritative answer:
microsoft.com   nameserver = DNS7.CP.MSFT.NET
microsoft.com   nameserver = DNS6.CP.MSFT.NET
microsoft.com   nameserver = DNS4.CP.MSFT.NET
microsoft.com   nameserver = DNS5.CP.MSFT.NET

Authoritative answers can be found from:
DNS7.CP.MSFT.NET        internet address = 207.46.138.21
DNS6.CP.MSFT.NET        internet address = 207.46.138.20
DNS4.CP.MSFT.NET        internet address = 207.46.138.11
DNS5.CP.MSFT.NET        internet address = 207.46.138.12


Hacked? Most likely not, but still just a little embarasing all the same...
