I don’t recall a DDoS attack of this size having happened before.
The whole bitch just got shut down.
At least two successive waves of online attacks blocked multiple major websites Friday, at times making it impossible for many users on the East Coast to access Twitter, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, Tumblr and Reddit.
The first attacks appear to have begun around 7:10 am Friday, then resolved towards 9:30 am, but then a fresh wave began.
The cause was a large-scale distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against Internet performance company Dyn that blocked user access to many popular sites standstill.
Dyn reported the sites going down at around 11:10 a.m. UTC, or roughly 7:10 a.m. ET, posting on its website that it “began monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure.”
In an update posted at 8:45 a.m. ET, the company confirmed the attack, noting that “this attack is mainly impacting US East and is impacting Managed DNS customers in this region. Our Engineers are continuing to work on mitigating this issue.”
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the Department of Homeland Security was “monitoring the situation” but that “at this point I don’t have any information about who may be responsible for this malicious activity.”
So, um.
They’re going to blame Russia for this.
Of course, no one has any idea who actually did it. But what we do know is that the US Vice President and the CIA have been openly threatening Russia with cyber-attacks.
And they will almost certainly use this to justify further escalation.
It’s not a good idea for the US to go into a cyber-war with Russia. Basically, the entire infrastructure of the US is on the internet. In Russia, everything is still on paper.
Basically in America, the entire legal system would have to shut down without the internet. The medical system. Pretty much the entire government. You wouldn’t be able to buy things at grocery stores.
Many, many people would die.
In Russia, it would just be “meh, no VK.”
So, I have no idea why the US thinks it is a good idea to go this route.
They would be better off to just invade with troops, if they’re intent on war. They’re pretty good at that.
