I know. They all went down at once (which is not how a DDoS attack typically unfolds, but perhaps it has to do with how their DDoS mitigation works), and yet somehow two data centers out of the three can simply be rebooted? I don't know, "DDoS" recently always fels like an excuse. Why would people DDoS just the EU servers anyway?
I'm just wondering if it's not simply a matter of the EU servers being undersized for the traffic that they get. You can always look at servers going down due to excess utilization and say it's DDoS, since the symptoms are similar.
Also it typically happens on mondays just hours before the weekly maintenance. Perhaps something simply gives in (memory leak, disk full, whatever) before the weekly maintenance has a chance to prevent it.
