Yesterday, the Internet was extremely slow for me, as I noted here.
Today, Torsten Meringer sent me an email indicating that the MSRC web site noted that there were over 100 million downloads of MS06–040 yesterday (3.5 million per hour).
If this is true, and it is true that patch release downloads can cause the Internet speeds to crawl, could this be considered an attack on the Internet?
Was your Internet connection slow yesterday?
