FUD article focusing on DDOS/Stresser/Booter incidents but doesn't share any data to show an upward trend on Christmas.

Using this data on breaches we can see there's more incident/breach activity in October than any other month. https://github.com/ericalexanderorg/SecurityBreach

Number of incidents and impact on people are different things, right. I wonder when targets impacting more end-users end up happening. Taking out something like the Playstation network or Netflix will have a large impact in that way.
