Big DDoS going on today causing slowness on the internet and major sites like Twitter, Etsy, and Pinterest. Was on this morning, slowed a bit and is now back causing issues.
Keep buying wifi enabled things from China and plugging them into the internet. The largest DDoS attack this year size has essentially doubled and breaks over 1Tbps which is insane. For this not aware of the size, essentially about 30 blu-rays worth of data per second.
That is the issue. The devices use telnet access to them with creds you can’t see in most of the web management platforms. You log in, change the username/password like a good little person and then the telnet/ssh access to it still uses default creds coded into the firmware.
