Mailchimp was as well. Both Trello and Mailchimp reverse proxy through Akamai.

Github is on their own gear on their own netblock, but might be on the same IXP fabric with an Akamai POP.

I am more familiar with this map: http://map.norsecorp.com/

There is no DDoS going on right now.

This and parent commenter's link paint _completely_ different pictures - do either of you know why?

The Akamai link shows Europe red hot, with the UK at "~17% attack", whatever that means. Norse Corp link shows nothing of the sort, UK so negligible as to not even make the list.

That means 17% of traffic/attacks all around the globe right now is in the UK. There is nothing useful to understand with that information ^^

[Either traffic or attacks depending on which graphs you look at]

The graph I gave show current attacks in live. If there was a DDoS going you'd see a shittons of lines going toward a single location.

Makes sense right now since I would assume large chunks of that are video traffic and people are at home, netflixing, youtubing, et al.
Speaking of Akamai... Apple Music, the App Store, and Facetime are being flaky right now too. Apple Music has completely stopped working for me.
Maybe another DDOS dry run? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not doing too bad of a job if this isn't their A game.
Maybe? http://downdetector.com/ if you look at the charts quite a few spiked around the same time.
Can't access- flagged as a 'fair use violation'. No details provided, first time I've been on this site. Any idea what's going on?
Never heard of that before, but it's loading fine for me. Maybe it's all the company logos tripping something you have on your computer or network?
