"unrelated" being a key word there. My first thought was this might be a state level attack (or warning shot)

- throwawaywego 7y agoMe too. But it is a mere suspicion. We know that: - GRU has been stepping up its attacks on the West (anti-doping, chemical weapons, MH17 investigation) - US, Britain, and Israel attacked Iran with Stuxnet - Iran retaliated with cyber attacks on banks and electrical grids - Iran downed a drone - Number stations go crazy - US almost goes for military strike, but Trump calls it off and orders US Cyber Command to cyber-attack Iran, with focus on missile systems and spy networks. - BGP route leak (Allegheny Technologies Inc. caused the leak, and was a target for Titan Rain around 2014). - Dutch payment - and emergency response network goes down. Edit: According to a KPN spokesperson: "We have an indication of the cause, but a lot remains unclear. Anyway, this was not the result of a hack."
- dang 7y agoIn the case of sensational flamewar topics, we can presume that it's unrelated pending some evidence of a relation.
