The blog of Avinash, Christina, Anya and Kyan Meetoo.
Today, Christina and I celebrate 27 years since we are together…
At dinner time, while having a good glass of wine, we thought about the best things which happened to us during that time and it was always about kids, family and friends.
So, thank you everyone for being with us for more than a quarter of a century!
(The above photo is from last year but it is very nice…)
Today, Anya, Christina and myself are incredibly proud of Kyan.
He has obtained a perfect “6 unités” at the School Certificate exams.
On 19 July 2021 at 11:30, an abnormal (i.e. very large) number of requests were sent to the Domain Name Servers (DNS) of Mauritius Telecom from abroad. This Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) made DNS unresponsive for people using Mauritius Telecom as Internet Service Provider.
DNS is used to translate the name of a website (e.g. www.mu.undp.org) into an IP address (e.g. 3.219.3.49). If DNS is not working properly, people cannot access websites and mobile apps are also impacted (as they use DNS internally).
Normal DNS service was restored at 16:30.
At 8:00 the next day (20 July 2011), another DDOS attack happened but customers were minimally impacted.
