Essentially the issue is that you can register domain names using international character sets that look exactly like English, and obtain SSL certificates for them, and it is extremely difficult for the end user to be able to tell that he/she isn’t dealing with the English website. Working example of https://www.paypal.com/ demonstrated.

A sophisticated computer hacker had access to servers at wireless giant T-Mobile for at least a year, which he used to monitor U.S. Secret Service e-mail, obtain customers' passwords and Social Security numbers, and download candid photos taken by Sidekick users, including Hollywood celebrities, SecurityFocus has learned.

This might be the reason that my GPRS Bluetooth Internet does not work anymore. Their network appears to be riddled with holes and bad design. Apparently the only reason I had Internet dial-up access was because they expect the phones to be the point that authorizes access to the network, as opposed to some method that isn't inherently flawed. I can still find ways to get traffic through their current firewalls, although any way a full net connection could be established would require methods that would make it way more inefficient then it was when it worked normally. Right now, imaps and DNS look ups work for instance. That's both a UDP and TCP way to funnel a tunnel right there... Or you could just pay $19 a month for less then 19.2k worth of dropped TCP connections and spotty connectivity you'll use about once every three months.

Lets hear it for major telecommunication providers with ass backwards security. Phbttt..

From isc.incidents.org:
] Starting at around 8:30 am EDT (12:30 UTC), a number of
] sources started to report a widespread Akamai DNS issue.
] Large web sites, which use Akamai for its DNS service, no
] longer resolved in DNS, and became inaccessible to their
] users. The affected sites were Yahoo, Google, Microsoft,
] FedEx, Xerox, Apple and likely many others. The situation
] improved around 10:30 EDT, mainly because some of the
] affected domains temporarily switched from using Akamai
] DNS servers to their own DNS servers.
]
] The problems seem to be attributable to a DDoS attack on
] Akamai's DNS servers, though we do not presently have the
] information to make a definitive assessment. According to
] the Akamai spokesperson, the problem was not limited to
] Akamai. He attributed the outage to an attack on the
] Internet infrastructure on a larger scale. We do not
] currently know of any sites that were affected by the
] attack without using Akamai's services.

At least it wasn't the Roots/GTLDs..

According to Netcraft, it also effected antivirus update services for Symantec and TrendMicro.
