DDOS?

Funny how only USA was affected while the rest of the world is fine and okay

But anyway, it could've been the USA itself trying to cut their own arm, but of course they will blame China/Russia

>The U.S. will blame China and Russia

Exactly my thought. They will blame China and Russia saying that cyber attacks are considered an "act of war"

Neah, there are several thousand China servers backdoored by western entities. A lot of attacks have been routed through cn to cause diversion.

Ever since the late 90s, boxes have been exploited and privilege escalation by password sniffing. The west got an early start on China and China has too much pride to admit it so they'd never point their finger at the US or other countries for compromising their systems.

Russia on the other hand, they got skillz and no one is going to punish or extradite anyone for their packet exploration.

from the NYT link:

>Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said on the NBC News program “Meet the Press” this month that the United States was prepared to respond to Russia’s election attacks in kind. “We’re sending a message,” Mr. Biden said. “We have the capacity to do it.”

>But technology providers in the United States could suffer blowback. As Dyn fell under recurring attacks on Friday, Mr. York, the chief strategist, said such assaults were the reason so many companies are pushing at least parts of their infrastructure to cloud computing networks, to decentralize their systems and make them harder to attack.

>“It’s a total wild, wild west out there,” Mr. York said.

I think this might be what is really going on. Russia is retaliating because the US recently within the past few weeks did the same thing to their internal internet backbones and the western media barely reported on it.

Why isn't 4Chan buzzing? I came for more info and I was let down.

/g/ had quite a few threads a few hours ago. I think it's subsided now so not many people are discussing it anymore.

Totally not trying to be offensive or anything, but the us people won't be thinking China or Russia did it unless there government brainwashes all the normies into thinking so. People, ordinary people, THE people, need to stand together. This is so important in the world right now, because everyone is facing corruption and oppression.

turns out it was an IOT (internet of things) attack. i.e. internet-enabled printers, toasters, security cameras etc. did the DDOS

I didn't even notice anything yesterday.

Have sweeping bans/ISP bans been issued to regions where the botnet is attacking? I had to change my IP addr. to post because people from my ISP/IP Range/Country had been banned for repeated abuse :(
