  1. Please do not panic.
  2. Please inform the other possibly not aware users like your friends.
  3. Please do not try to reload the websites within 30 minutes which are not loading after a second try. Your effort will increase load.
  4. Please ensure that when you are not using the Internet actively, your devices are not kept connected to the internet unless you have idea about security. Your device’s security flaw can be abused.
  5. Please apply software updates available for your devices.
  6. It can happen that some websites are comprised on this chance by a third party hacker. If you notice odd on any website, please report to webmaster.
  7. Please keep an eye on the security related websites.

Previous month, Dyn actually increased our plan for higher usage than permissible at that plan. Dyn is saying that, they actually noticed higher DDoS on their clients. We really faced huge SSH Bruteforce this month on multiple web hosts. We lack idea whether they are related.

All sysadmins may try to help to add the spammy Its on various blacklisting websites.
