China fires up 'Great Cannon' denial-of-service blaster, points it toward Hong Kong

Collateral damage

"Still, it is disturbing to see an attack tool with the potential power of the Great Cannon used more regularly, and again causing collateral damage to US based services."

I wonder how much "collateral damage" is happening. Also, if a foreign power fires off their iCannon, and their packets land on US networks, is that an act of war?
