YouTube was down world wide for a hour. Was quite alarming because it was not just YouTube.

Apparently Hulu, Netflix, and WIFI in most parts around here just flat out stopped working yesterday for a rather long period my Husband says. Husband was home yesterday. I was busy working so did not notice the outtage.
Lots of banter on 4chan about exessive DDOS attacks from Asia on US today.

Ya, and just for ONE ISP! (internet service provider)
Yeah. You have to be careful how you set up your intrusion prevention logs on network security because if you try to log every single attack the hard drive will be full in a week. I tired that once for a few hours. Not only did it heavily degrade network performance, the machine I was using kept maxing the memory and swap usage in the process. Granted, this is my home security server, not an enterprise-grade server, but still.
Also, about 80% of that cyberattack traffic is coming from China. If you don't do business in China and you don't care about not visiting any websites hosted in China, I would just block all network traffic originating from there. North Korea and Russia too.
I had a look into current threats and randsomware is the number one threat. Egregor is most feared, keep an eye on it https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...ers-transit-system-hit-by-egregor-ransomware/

The number of prime targets being hacked across the globe in the past weeks tells us the Cyber war is getting more intense. I can't recall such a high amount of prime targets being hacked in such a short amount of time. Let's hope infrastructure related hacks will not be on the menu the coming months.
