Not everyones internet is supposed to be down. Here's the story.
In 2007, six estonian hackers created m4lware called DNSChanger which would connect you to rogue [bad] DNS servers which would display bogus search results and ads and made 14 million dollars out of it. DNS servers are what allows you to connect to the internet. After they were apprehended, officials made a court order for the FBI to create DNS servers for the people who got the malware to allow them time to fix it.
More than 4 million people had the m4lware.
To this day, more than 300,000 people worldwide still have the malware, and approximately more than 70,000 people in the US have it. Today, they just simply decided to pull the plug on the DNS servers and shut off all people who have infected computer's internet off if they don't have their m4lware fixed. Now, this doesn't mean everyone, just everyone with the M4LWARE. So that means only a small bit of people will actually get their internet shut down. We're not going to go into some metaphoric zombie apocalypse on the internet. Don't make such a big deal about it, because it isn't the deal you think it is. |

Again, I'm not a "bump"er, but drastic times call for drastic measures.
