The Internet has been very wonky for the past few days because of hackers launching DDOS attacks. It's not BBO; anything data-intensive over the open Internet (ie not a VPN) has been affected. We may be back to a mid-1990s Internet in terms of reliability for a while; if it goes on for a while people might start dusting off their older, simpler webpages.

The only recent attack I'm aware of was against Dyn several days ago. It only affected DNS lookups.

 

It had an impact on some behind-the-scenes operations of our service, but not any of our customer-facing services as far as we're aware.
