Who broke the Internet?

Sweden lost connection to the internet for an hour so the Telegraph tells us.

Sweden loses its internet connection - Telegraph

If true surely this is a first and someone must be looking for a new job? A complete loss of a country's connectivity!

Any Swedish PPRuNers or UK businesses impacted by this?

Apparently a single missing full stop at the end of the code meant that the Domain Name Systems (DNS) failed to recognise .se as the “top-level" (country-wide) domain.
Seems to have been caused by caching. I pity the folks who ran the script!
