Yesterday, I stumbled upon an oldish Raspberry Pi (v1 B+) at home.
I setup a pi-hole on it (https://pi-hole.net/) and re-configured the home network.
OMG, ~20h later, 17% of the home outgoing requests were (silently) blocked ! No noticeable changes for us.
I really should have done this earlier.
Operational disruption alert.
Reddit faced a global outage, 15,000+ rapid reports, mobile app impact at 64%, CDN-origin connectivity errors observed.
Security-adjacent considerations:
• Traffic surge management gaps
• CDN dependency risk
• Authentication system resilience
• Opportunistic phishing during downtime
• Brand impersonation spikes during trending outages
When high-traffic platforms fail, attackers often exploit confusion windows.
Did you observe increased malicious domain registrations or phishing attempts during #RedditDown?

Meta initiates coordinated legal action targeting cross-border scam advertisers operating from Brazil, China, Vietnam.
Threat vectors observed:
• Celeb-bait campaigns leveraging synthetic media
• AI-assisted investment fraud funnels
• Cloaking to bypass ad review
• DNS manipulation via shadow resolvers
• HTTP-based traffic distribution systems
• Push notification abuse targeting Android Chrome
• Law firm impersonation clusters
Investigative findings indicate high advertiser concentration and shared infrastructure — suggesting organized, scalable fraud operations.
The enforcement move signals increasing willingness by platforms to pursue civil litigation alongside technical disruption.
From a defensive standpoint, what additional telemetry or cross-platform coordination is needed to meaningfully suppress these ecosystems?
