Red is bad right?

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.
