       VentraIP: "We were the second major Australian digital service provider to be specifically targeted by the same group over the past two weeks, who have proven to have the ability to launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against network operators that completely overwhelm conventional mitigation methods.For clarity and context, the size of the attack was estimated to be in excess of 600Gbps, with much of the traffic coming from compromised devices on Australian home NBN connections. Due to its sheer volume, two major telco providers, who we use for our data transit services, were taken completely offline, while saturating all of our own peering links"https://www.getdrip.com/deliveries/qpxvhce60ldflyb140ml

       @brettm When was this outage? I noticed some service disruptions on the 16th of May and was speculating about a potential peering/carrier issue. Could this have been related?

       @brettm They do mention within the past 2 weeks, so 16th of May seems plausible. I had intermittent issues with 5G, NBN FTTB, and NBN HFC across multiple locations. Dropouts and packet loss.

       @brettm Interestingly, this is the first widespread issue I've seen that has gone unreported on /r/sysadmin. Reddit truly is dead. Genuinely need to figure out what platform I'm going to get news like this on in future. /r/sysadmin saved me so much time troubleshooting issues that weren't mine in the past.
