The BBC says that some security experts have called this "the biggest cyber-attack in history."
According to the BBC, the cyber attacks were focused on a company called Spamhaus, which is a non-profit group in London and Geneva, whose goal is to help email providers filter out spam and other unwanted content.
The BBC quotes a message from Sven Olaf Kamphuis, who claims to be a spokesman for Cyberbunker, indicating that Spamhaus was abusing its position, and should not be allowed to decide "what goes and does not go on the internet".
With Spamhaus' services compromised, large portions of the web became less stable according to the BBC.
