Netcraft Internet Monitoring service reported Friday that the RIAA site (Recording Industry Association of America) www.riaa.com had been down since Thursday March 17th, due to a distributed denial of service attack. The attack reportedly came from over 40 thousand MyDoom.F infected machines. According to Netcraft's real time graphs , the RIAA site started having intermittent outages on March 16th, and by the following day was unresponsive. MyDoom.F was the third most active e-mail virus on Friday, according to a MessageLabs report.
