There is no proof of a denial of service attack. Attack maps like the one you’ve linked to sinkhole traffic from botnets to known honeypots. The only way a DDoS can be identified is if you’re sitting on the transit links themselves or you have insight into the very private networks that the carriers have. Attack maps do not have this.
So attack maps are pretty much just useless PR gags? Thats what I assumed but wasn't sure if I was correct.
They are 100% useless PR gags
"Wow look the US is getting attacked by everyone" - "lets make everyone pay for a black budget 5 trillion dollars cyber defence project".

Same old military industrial complex scheme with theater pretexts.

Useless? Not always...if they're well done PR they collect eyeballs. But yeah, all PR gags.
I have already seen infowarriors blaming Antifa.

Could be anything I guess.
