The DDoS attack being waged against Spamhaus has reached a previously
unheard of magnitude, according to Patrick Gilmore, 

chief architect at digital content provider Akamai. 

Recent cyber attacks -- like the ones that caused persistent outages at U.S.
banking sites late last year -- tend to peak at 100 billion bits per second.


The attack on Spamhaus clocked in at. 300 billion.

Ruff, Ruff...!
