There's a MITM injecting malicious javascript causing a prolonged DDoS for several days now. There have been times in the past where BGP "misconfigurations" have redirected large amounts of internet traffic, and we used to think, oh, Hanlon's razor, now we know better.
What convinces me this is not Hanlon is the precisely targeted nature and significant duration of the attack. Whoever controls these servers and routers knows this is happening and wants it to happen.
