If you're experiencing some issues with teh internets, it might be related to a small issue Level3 is having.
Hmm, no, I'm not having any issues with internet today. Or any other day this month. (see that crazy data usage chart I posted earlier)
Actually the main issue is a DDOS attack against DYN https://www.dynstatus.com/
They host Twitter, GitHub, Netflix and many other big names DNS records.
Normally they brush these attacks off.
Apparently its big enough to knock out level3 tho. People are reporting not just no connection, but slow connections to places.
Last news I heard was investigation into this as an infrastructure attack coupled with DDoS (mind you there's so much speculative garbage flying around right now who knows what)
Moving on to attack wave three, apparently they are using IoT devices they have exploited.

Sounds like they are just escalating. Last big attack was IoT devices as well.
