Can this bullshit die already so we can get graphics cards cheaply please

Or can they make more or something? I don't know, it's almost as if manufacturers have, as a group, decided they like high prices.

It would be pretty foolish of them to expand capacity for craptocurrency since the demand is unlikely to remain for the long haul.

Expanding fabrication capacity is non trivial and requires immense capital costs. It would be pretty foolish of them to expand capacity for craptocurrency since the demand is unlikely to remain for the long haul.

Hijack of Amazon’s internet domain service used to reroute web traffic for two hours unnoticed

Between 11am until 1pm UTC today, DNS traffic — the phone book of the internet, routing you to your favourite websites — was hijacked by an unknown actor.

The attackers used BGP — a key protocol used for routing internet traffic around the world — to reroute traffic to Amazon’s Route 53 service, the largest commercial cloud provider who count major websites such as Twitter.com as customers.

They re-routed DNS traffic using a man in the middle attack using a server at Equinix in Chicago.

From there, they served traffic for over two hours.

This would allow them to intercept traffic globally across the internet to Amazon Route 53 customers.

The first target

So far the only known website to have traffic redirected was to MyEtherWallet.com, a cryptocurrency website. This traffic was redirected to a server hosted in Russia, which served the website using a fake certificate — they also stole the cryptocoins of customers. The attacks only gained a relatively small amount of currency from MyEtherWallet.com — however their wallets in total already contained over £20m of currency. Whoever the attackers were are not poor.
