It's a pretty reasonable article, too, though I don't know that I agree about the "simplicity of the routing 
system"....

I am very skeptical whenever I see claims of this nature "If I do X I 
can bring down large global system Y in a matter of minutes/hours" where 
X involves something reasonably simple any single person with some skill 
could do.

except we have a history of it happening
