Internet Will Shut Down For Security Upgrade

10/12/2018

  If you're reading this message, The story may be overblown. But ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers) is setting this week as a time to upgrade their security process. It could lead to temporary partial outages.
BGR.com reports the following:
  Internet users be ready for a widespread network outage that could restrict users from accessing internet. Internet users across the globe are expected to face internet disruption for the next 48 hours. According to Russia Today, the internet will be disrupted for users as key domain servers undergo routine maintenance.
  The report from the Russian news organization claims that Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is preparing for maintenance work of domain servers and related network infrastructure. ICANN is planning to change cryptographic key during this maintenance work, which will result in downtime in internet activity across the globe. The planned maintenance set to be undertaken by ICANN will help protect the Domain Name System (DNS), which acts as internet’s very own address book.

  If everything goes right, the security upgrade will be blip. perhaps not even that. If supercomputers use redundancy while they install and restart, we may not even have any interruption. But, in an effort to explain what might happen, we're helping notify the public so at least there is less panic and fear.
   ICANN was set up as a solution to many complaints. Prior to ICANN's 1998 founding, a domain name cost about four times what it does, today.

   The actual internet uses strings of numeric addresses, but civilian commerce and communication benefits from changing an address like http://192.168.1.254 to an address like http://ebay.com.
UPDATE: India news outlets report that only small interruptions occurred while Asian regions were upgraded, in the past few hours.
