VoIP provider Bandwidth.com suffering DDoS attacks for 5+ days. Critical services affected including 911. Almost no media coverage.

This has been ongoing since Saturday, 9/25. The attacks are timed to correspond with busy times for the provider. They start around 9AM and taper off into the evening. At times, 911 service has been unavailable.

It's 5 days in and it isn't a blip on the national media's radar. Tech blogs have picked it up; links below. But that's about it. Bandwidth.com is a publicly traded company. You would think this would have FCC and SEC implications.

There's a pretty good video over on the Lawrence Systems YouTube Channel.

Bleeping Computer has a write-up about it.

As does TechRadar.
