The blog of Avinash, Christina, Anya and Kyan Meetoo.
Happy 17th birthday, Kyan 😀
You have become a formidable young man and I really love our conversations every day. I love that we like learning from each other. The sky is really the limit…
I wish you, together with Mum and Anya, all the best.
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.
