Cloudflare is crying: "the sky is falling". Gizmodo is taking the other extreme: "nothing to see here; move along". The truth is in the middle. There were repercussions in Denver/Colorado with a Tier 1 network provider, mainly in the form of greatly increased latency. This impacted downstream providers, as well as a couple of my clients in Colorado. I informed those clients yesterday my opinion was the issue was either a network engineering/backhoe issue, or there was a major concerted cyber attack targeting the Denver area. The reality? There was an attack. It was measurable. It did have a noticeable impact. But it was far more annoying and irritating than the headline "Internet killed. Film at 11." would lead one to believe.
