Not your typical TPRC speaker. His heroes include “risk takers” Rupert Murdoch and Pat Buchanan, but not Ted Turner. Netflix was not mentioned. I was the first (but not the last) to stand up to question what he said.

At 10:30 AM GMT yesterday, 29 November 2012,
routing to Yemen suddenly changed from London to Dubai through FLAG
to New York to Dubai through ETISALAT,
as shown in the animation here and
detailed in the PerilWatch from InternetPerils.
That timing closely matched the
10:26 AM GMT Syrian disconnect time reported by Renesys.
This is very reminiscent of
Mubarak disconnecting Egypt 22:30 GMT 20 January 2011.
This tactic didn’t help Mubarak’s regime in Egypt, and it probably won’t
help Assad’s regime in Syria; rather the opposite: people don’t like
their Internet being turned off.
And it tends to cause the international community to rally around the rebels.

Joining the
festival of the Festi botnet,
eHealth Ontario’s
AS 21992 SSHA-ONE-ASN
made #1 in the
July 2012 worldwide medical spam SpamRankings.net from CBL data,
the first Canadian organization to do that.
The same ASN did make #2 back in
November 2011
and #5 in
June 2011.

The blue dotted line indicates spam from Festi, which, as you can see, tracks pretty closely with total spam seen from AS 21992.
Is it a Festi epidemic?
