People on here were complaining about the DDoS attack by Anonymous yesterday, but the Hong Kong democracy movement was just hit by one of largest DDoS attacks in internet history. Cloudflare is calling it a 300Gbps+ attack. The attacks blocked the online voter registration system, popvote. People are voting on whether or not they want full democracy. It is really stupid to have votes online. People from Amazon web services have been trying to fight it. They also control sites such as Netflix, Reddit, Pininterest, Expedia, SmugMug, Ubisoft, CDC ( US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) , SAP, Etsy, Airbnb, Autodesk, Adobe, Coursera, Flipboard, Scribd, Dropcam, Spotify, LinkedIn, Soundcloud, Foursquare, Intuit, PBS, yelp and Newsweek. Did you know that back in 2013 The CIA awarded a $600 million private cloud contract to Amazon Web Services ? The CIA had chosen Amazon Web Services over IBM to build a version of its public cloud that runs inside the CIAs data center.
