The case highlighted the tension between competitive intelligence gathering and illegal access. In 2004, Ticketmaster faced legal action after a competitor, Tickets.com, conducted a port scan on its servers without permission. Ticketmaster alleged that the scan was an unauthorized intrusion, violating the CFAA. | A shorter TTL means that changes will propagate more quickly, while a longer TTL can delay the update process. For example, if a domain has a TTL of 86400 seconds (24 hours), DNS servers will hold onto the old records for that duration before checking for updates. TTL Settings: The Time to Live (TTL) setting is one of the primary factors influencing how long DNS propagation takes. TTL is a value that specifies how long a DNS record is cached by DNS servers. |
