I'm seeing major domains suddenly throwing up DNS security errors - are we in the midst of a hack attack?

I was seeing some yesterday (Cox) but I knew they were working on the system from a previous email ... internet was flaky all day in general.

Or it could be something has changed on your computer or your browser cache is holding dirty copies of the websites (this is more likely than the others). A good start is to nuke the browser cache back to the beginning of time (you can google instructions for this if needed) for all your browsers and restart them after doing so.

It's never more than 15 minutes but it's damn frustrating. Today it only happened once but it has been 3-4 times a day sometimes.
