I am mildly tech savvy, but I just got educated. My son was on a Minecraft server and in group Skype play when a kid over Skype said he was going to DDOS my son and he did! Argghh. We lost our internet.
What I have done so far:
1. Disconnected our router and now have modem directly connected to computer.
2. Contacted Cable/internet company and had them start special call ticket
3. After many reboots, internet is now working.
Questions:
1. Am I more compromised or was it just an internet block?
2. Do I need to spend money on a new router for new IP address? (sad face).
Thanks everyone.
