    Gone this far, may as well let it all hang out:

    "Senators ask FBI to look into FCC’s cyberattack claims...

    The FCC has been rather quiet on the topic despite requests from Congress to explain and document the attack. Some at the time thought that the comment system had been taken down by the large volume directed at it by a John Oliver segment on net neutrality that aired shortly before.

    But the system was upgraded specifically to prevent it from going down under that kind of attention, and the FCC was unequivocal in its statement about the attacks, issued on May 8...

    Since then, however, the Commission has offered no hard evidence, publicly at least, that substantiates this analysis. Perhaps the Senators’ letter will hurry that along.

    Notably, the letter suggests that the purported attacks 'question the integrity of the FCC’s rulemaking proceedings.'..."

    The FCC’s cyberattack claim has been met with intense skepticism. The ECFS became inaccessible almost immediately after comedian John Oliver, host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, directed his audience to flood the agency with comments supporting net neutrality...

    The lawmakers’ call to review the FCC’s DDoS claim follows a Gizmodo investigation that revealed a senior FCC official fed a cybersecurity reporter false information about a June 2014 “attack” on the comment system. The official, former FCC Chief Information Officer David Bray, told the reporter privately that the ECFS had been “hacked” by “malicious actors,” even though the security team working under him had determined there was no evidence to support such a claim. The comment system’s downtime likewise followed an HBO segment in which John Oliver directed his viewers toward the agency’s website..."
