We already know at least one method the hackers are using. According to security intelligence firm Flashpoint, their researchers have observed a Mirai botnet attacking Dyn. Roland Dobbins, principal engineer at Arbor Networks, agrees: ”A significant proportion of the DDoS attack traffic targeting Dyn is being sourced from compromised IoT devices participating in Mirai botnets.”http://www.forbes.com/sites/briansolomon/2016/10/21/hacked-cameras-cyber-attack-hacking-ddos-dyn-twitter-netflix/#72bdb8a67e6f

It was the only way Trumps campaign could keep him from posting stupid shit on twitter.

“The technical and social indicators of this attack align more closely with attacks from the Hackforums community than the other type of actors that may be involved, such as higher-tier criminal actors, hacktivists, nation-states, and terrorist groups,” the director and two other employees wrote on their site.https://news.vice.com/story/a-bunch-of-kids-probably-pulled-off-the-biggest-ddos-hack-ever

This week, another Mirai botnet, known as Botnet 14 (https://twitter.com/MiraiAttacks/status/793954183837876224), began targeting a small, little-known African country, Liberia, sending it almost entirely offline each time.


Security researcher Kevin Beaumont, who was one of the first to notice the attacks and wrote about what he found (https://medium.com/@networksecurity/shadows-kill-mirai-ddos-botnet-testing-large-scale-attacks-sending-threatening-messages-about-6a61553d1c7#.k9m99yf6g), said that the attack was one of the largest capacity botnets ever seen.


One transit provider said the attacks were over 500Gbps in size. Beaumont said that given the volume of traffic, it "appears to be the owned by the actor which attacked Dyn".
An attack of that size is enough to flatten even a large network -- or, as was seen this week, a small country.
