If anybody wants another hilarious online dispute issue, back in 2016 two teens had a dispute over Minecraft, so one DDoS’d the Minecraft server’s DNS server - that broke Dyn, which took down internet access across the US East Coast as they were such a key supplier.
I had to do a radio show on NPR about that one and the presenter kept asking me if it was Putin — and I was like, no, it’s teenagers. Advanced Persistent Teenagers.
