Meatball Scripts Lapse Swedish Registry

Swedish meatball scripts cut the input mask required by incoming .se names last evening. The Domain Break in Sweden was significant. Almost a  million Swedish domains went into Area 51 last night as Swedish servers served up an outage. Meatball scripting left a detection mask flaw in the the .se DNS registry programming that omitted referring domain requests without a “.” character to terminate a specific command.

The Swedish registry was then unable to correctly identify .se as a valid domain suffix and prevented users from accessing the sites or delivering email messages. The tab for this could be heavy in lost sales and scheduled functions like banking. Time will tell.
