    We had a few users complain about it at work. And for once they were right by saying "My Internet is not working" icon_wink.gif.

    Yeah, we've had some issues too.

    Curious on the exact reason. Coincidentally enough, once Wikileaks tweeted that the attackers proved their point and asked them to stop, it seems to have subsided.

    I read somewhere it was a big botnet from compromised DVR and CCTV camera systems. I blocked internet access to all my outdoor surveillance IP cameras back when I installed them.
