The whole thing was just DNS, including the explosions.
BGP doesn’t use DNS
It was a joke. It’s always DNS.
Neither do explosions.
Source?!?
They’re kind of related but yeah, they’re distinctly their own things. I was making a joke about every problem always being somehow DNS related. Comedy is hard.
I feel like I need an ELI5
I assume they mean Border Gateway Protocol. Its used to help define what network traffic goes where. This could mean traffic was being redirected to bad actor(s).
Bad actors as in the US gov? Suggesting they were using bgp to spy?
I’m not an expert, but if BGP started routing traffic through U.S. services they could MITM traffic ( if it wasn’t properly secured), but they could also just DoS which might have been enough for the purposes at that time.
You summed it up perfectly
