RR e-mail's out too: do you think gmail outage is deliberate way to slow stock crash?

[zazen]

I guess I'm paranoid, but RoadRunner's e-mail (at least in the Carolinas area) has been out too.

You have to wonder, if one fifth of the world's e-mail users suddenly can't use their accounts (Google, and maybe more, if my area's any indication), how many stock trades and sales can go on. It's got to put a wrinkle in stock sell-offs, don't you think?

9. gmail was out for two hours across asia, europe, and parts of N.A.-it's back up now

I was thinking in particular about the Asian crash overnight (our time) and how gmail went out across Asia during part of it.

4. I have no idea about that, but RoadRunner's out in Ohio too.

My Gmail account seems to be functioning normally.

5. nope...

but there is a full scale cyber-assault currently under way. You could blame it on porno types, or phishing types or other governments. I think it's a bit too pervasive to blame it on the former groups.

11. "full-scale cyber assault underway"--wow. could you elaborate? n/t

12. there's a new worm out there...

and it's busy... but you probably wouldn't notice it unless you have access to your server logs.

Glad you're doing okay.
