Skynet is coming.
I'm genuinely worried about this, as this really was a easy, small and well coordinated attack on one company. Clearly there is no redundancy for Dyn, and companies reliant on it's services obviously didn't take any threat seriously enough to make arrangements.
What would happen if the same group, did this again, but instead on attacking one company, they attacked a larger number, with an even bigger botnet. What would happen if they rotated the servers being attacked, and the botnet attacking them on a regular basis? How the hell would that be stopped, short of cutting ann DNS servers - even if that was a viable last-ditch defense?
I can see this attack being nothing more than a test run. The 'big' attack is coming.
