UglyTool writes to alert us to an initiative by the state of Ohio and the city of Columbus to lure Canadian rocketeers PlanetSpace to launch from an area airport (the former Lockbourne Air Force Base, now called Rickenbacker International Airport). A decision on the incentives could be made by January. From the article: “Such a package could include tax credits, financing programs and training grants amounting to millions of dollars… PlanetSpace’s chairman, Indian-American entrepreneur Chirinjeev Kathuria, told MSNBC.com he expected the incentives to amount to ’somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 million.’” Five other states have spaceports approved or planned.

mellow marsh writes “EveryDNS, sister company to OpenDNS (which runs the PhishTank anti-phishing initiative), has been hit by a massive distributed denial-of-service attack. The attack started sometime Friday afternoon and, from all indications, was targeting Web sites that used free DNS management services provided by EveryDNS. At the height of the DDoS bombardment, EveryDNS was being hit with more than 400mbps of traffic at each of its four locations around the world. From the article: ‘”We were collateral damage,” Ulevitch explained… Because law enforcement is involved, Ulevitch was hesitant to release details of the actual target but there are signs that some of the targets were “nefarious domains” that have since been terminated.’” OpenDNS, which makes use of EveryDNS services, was affected for a time, until they spread their authoritative DNS more broadly. The EveryDNS site is now reporting that the attack is continuing but has been mitigated and is not affecting operations.
