    Level3, a major network provider held an online update this afternoon. Among the info they shared:

    This DDoS is using about 10% of a single botnet built from infected Internet-of-Things devices.

    Interesting: US-CERT (US Computer Emergency Response Team) issued a warning just last week about this exact botnet and it's potential for trouble.

    They do provide some good recommendations on how to better secure your internet-connected devices (routers, TVs, IP cameras, etc) in this bulletin so that you don't contribute to the problem.

    Why bother? It will fall on deaf ears. These are the same people that still vote for Clinton because they dont see what the big deal about email is all about.
