Syria Traffic Goes "Dark" As Country Disappears From Internet
While there have been no new military attacks on Syria since Sunday morning, something more peculiar happened in the past few hours, when according to Akamai and various other Internet traffic trackers, Syria has literally gone “dark“, or, as Umbrella Security Labs describes it, as if “Syria has largely disappeared from the Internet.”
Some more from Umbrella’s blog:
At around 18:45 UTC OpenDNS resolvers saw a significant drop in traffic from Syria. On closer inspection it seems Syria has largely disappeared from the Internet.
The graph below shows DNS traffic from and to Syria. Although Twitter remains relatively silent, the drop in both inbound and outbound traffic from Syria is clearly visible. The small amount of outbound traffic depicted by the chart indicates our DNS servers trying to reach DNS servers in Syria.
Currently both TLD servers for Syria, ns1.tld.sy and ns2.tld.sy are unreachable. The remaining two nameservers sy.cctld.authdns.ripe.net. and pch.anycast.tld.sy. are reachable since they are not within Syria.
The Umbrella Security Labs also reported on an Internet blackout in Syria November of 2012, where we shared details of the top 10 most failed domains during the outage.
Update: 1:28 p.m. PDT
There have been numerous incidents where access to and from the Internet in Syria was shut down. Shutting down Internet access to and from Syria is achieved by withdrawing the BGP routes from Syrian prefixes. The graph below shows the sudden drop in visibility for Syrian network prefixes.

What’s interesting is that mainstream US media is reporting cyberattacks coming from Syria……
Question is, what are the PTB doing to those poor people?
The whole dumbshow takes pressure off the Benghazi cooker. Doubt we’ll see anyone falling on their sword there. In fact, it gives BHO more empowered gall to move on to the next planned atrocity.
Good they don’t have zionist filled garbage called Internet, now finally they will be able to think on their own rather than lame stream propaganda
Impeach Obama, Hang Hilary like they did Saddam Hussein, and make sure she doesn’t have a trial. O and H are killers. I agree with W.Willow, the problems in Syria are just a little smokescreen put up to take the attention off what ACTUALLY happened in Benghazi, but i mean, “What does it matter”.
Looks like ns1.tld.sy is STILL unreachable as of 12:47 eastern
ns2.tld.sy is responding to ping requests, though
It just occurred to me what is likely happening here:
Earlier it was reported at Drudge that SEA (Syrian Electronic Army) had hacked some systems in Haifa, Israel:

This is likely Israeli retaliation or threat mitigation against the S.E.A.
This is so stupid …..why provoke a country with chems and say …..please release your weapons…..what a joke.
Based on the information Jim Stone has released, I’d say this had something to do with the unique weapon(possible small nuke) that Israel used on Monday. I suggest everyone go visit Stone’s website to see the evidence…
