Yesterday’s DDoS attacks against Dyn are being reported everywhere.
I have received a gazillion press requests, but I am traveling in Australia and Asia and have had to decline most of them. That’s okay, really, because we don’t know anything much of anything about the attacks.
If I had to guess, though, I don’t think it’s China. I think it’s more likely related to the DDoS attacks against Brian Krebs than the probing attacks against the Internet infrastructure, despite how prescient that essay seems right now. And, no, I don’t think China is going to launch a preemptive attack on the Internet.
