Dunno if it's related to anything or if it's just your "average" cyberattack...but I work in tech and nationwide systems have been completely FUBAR today...mainly VoIP systems (Voice over IP) that provide phone services. Almost half of the US's VoIP phone systems are estimated to be down at the moment because of what backbone providers are calling an extensive cyberattack. Started a little bit in the middle of last week with a couple smaller fish but now the big dogs are down too.
I've also been monitoring global network traffic within our company. There's been an uptick in DDOS activity but nothing unmanageable yet. If these services do get brought down though, a lot of websites will also be down, as we are a major provider of service globally.
