Wow.

I mentioned FastNetMon to them, but I just read the status update. They're blocking entire continents by communities... Holy shit. This is not some skiddie, this is likely state sponsored or BTC ransom.

Worrisome how the attacker knows so much of their infrastructure, makes me think ex-employee as he knows where to hit their servers, etc.

So glad I replied 'nope' to taking the cheaper SysAdmin position, after hand feeding them how I did mitigation. They asked me how, and were very interested in why. This was a week before this happened.

It's all making sense now. But even FastNetMon couldn't help this, you need a shitload of bandwidth (OVH size) and thousands (hundreds in cases for arbor) of equipment to match.

They need to GRE their /24's from Voxility or some large ass provider, as this is beyond fucked. I just read the status, they're cutting off parts of the internet to VMs. What in actual fuck.

I've worked in cloud for 10 years, and recently left, and will not be going back. Bare metal and OVH FTW. I can understand the 'going above and beyond' during holidays, but the lawyers I work for just want their 'f email online NOW' (direct quote)
