Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, AIM and others down, possible mass DDoS.

So that's why FB Messenger wouldn't connect while I was in line at the grocery store about to bitch about it being like four people deep with only one checker open
Despite having four bars I just thought the store was Faraday-caging me again
I was wondering why the hell FB wasn't loading. I even specifically went to "Down For Everyone Or Just Me" to see if my internet was fucking with me.

God damnit, Internet.
It's going to be another whole generation before everyone figures out the Internet, isn't it?

this looks laughably like a game

It's [I]kind of[/I] useful; it's a series of honeypots that show attacks being launched by protocol and origination. Where Superwafflez is completely ass-backwards is that, since it's attacks on [I]honeypots[/I], it doesn't represent attacks on [I]Facebook[/I] or other properties that were down.
Also, those screenshots look pretty much like any other single moment on that site, 24/7. It's meaningless for this.
[QUOTE=hydrated;47018619]telnet attacks are still a thing?[/QUOTE]
Yes, extremely widespread targeting routers, TV boxes, smart fridges and other kinds of insecure embedded devices that shouldn't be connected to the Internet.
It's a major source of spam mail because there are too many of them to block properly.
Hopefully IPv6 will halt random drive-bys. Right now you can just open the Telnet port and see attack attempts in the first twenty minutes.

I remember when Hotmail allowed unauthenticated telnet access. You could compose entire email messages from the command line and Microsoft would dutifully fire it off on its merry way. Not that I ever did this myself, but I saw proof, and I worked for MSN tech support for a couple years and had a handle on how shit Hotmail was on the backend.
That's why you all got the shit spammed out of you through most of the 2000s and why a hotmail.com address used to be a reason to point and laugh at someone.

DEFCON
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;47018519]oh boy, how will humanity socialize now[/QUOTE]
By actually going outside? :v:
But who's responsible?
North Korea or ISIS?
[QUOTE=Superwafflez;47018532]According to Twitter this map is relevant.

This looks like a map of missile impacts, kinda like the one in War Games.
Now that's dramatic.

I wonder if there could be a group like this that never actually does any DDoS shit or hacking or whatever but has everyone convinced they do because they just take credit for everything :v:

Those sorts of people would be caught out when attempting to gain reputation with others -- it's common in that scene for people to be challenged to take down a DDoS protected site to prove their "skills".

That's not quite Telnet [I]per se[/I] though.
SMTP (which is pretty bad itself), is just completely text based and compatible enough with Telnet not to error as long as you don't send special control characters.
