#2 We've been hitting Iran's international banking links pretty hard. Maybe Imanutjob went looking for a little internet back door action (banking, that is) and somebody is taking it out.

#3 India may have an Internet problem, but check the connectivity status of another country in the region.

It'll be interesting to see if it gets 'damaged' a second time.
