Our CIO is constantly threatening L3 with pushing our SLA and what they have actually given and demanding money. L3 is terrible and it's their management and maitiance of the network infastructure- they bought or became great infastructure- etc, but they just don't do anything with them except to rake in money.

And in a troubling development, the attack appears to have relied on hundreds of thousands of internet-connected devices like cameras, baby monitors and home routers that have been infected — without their owners’ knowledge — with software that allows hackers to command them to flood a target with overwhelming traffic.

Most if not all of the LS/PC membership has been arrested. The DDOS yesterday was an activation of the Mirai botnet.

At the begining of the month the source code for a bot network that uses IOT devices got leaked.
IOT (internet of things) are the internet capable devices around your house, like thermostats, door locks, and other silly shit they are trying to connect to the internet now adays.
The botnet infects these devices and blast a target.
About 2 and a half weeks later, someone uses it in a big way targetting DYN. The botnet blasts that you can do with this thing are around 600gbps-1tbps. This is a fucking lot of bandwidth.

Well I just want to step in and correct the record. This was definitely Putin and America must fight back against this clearly aggressive Russian attack. Thank you.
