DNS error takes down internet in Sweden
NEWS
A problem during routine maintenance of Sweden's top-level domain, .se, took down the internet for the country for about an hour on Monday night.
The .se registry used an incorrectly configured script to update the .se zone, Sweden-based Pingdom, which monitors website performance, wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. A period was dropped at the end of DNS (domain name system) records for the Swedish top-level domain, breaking the entire DNS lookup chain.
This meant websites ending in .se could not be accessed, and email to Swedish domain names stopped working. For some sites the problems will take longer to resolve because of the fact that DNS lookups are cached externally and those servers had to be flushed, Pingdom said.

Could you please revert to spelling out acronyms the first time they occur in an article, for the benefit of those of us who suffer from AOS (Acronym Overload Syndrome)?
There may be some who know them all, perhaps from previous pieces, and who are able to scoff at those who missed that earlier explanation, but the rest of us are frequently stumped and have to go to Google to discover what you are talking about.
