The attack (which was preceded by a rehearsal at 00h00 UTC) also
targeted other Internet resources. As you have seen, TLD like ".info"
or ".org" had resolution problems and G-root was also affected. See
for instance the attack on one of the name servers of ".uk" :

http://dnsmon.ripe.net/dns-servmon/domain/plot?domain=uk&tstart=1170673200&tstop=1170759599

As of now, it seems everyone is safe again but ICANN.
