For those digging around in the DDOS attack yesterday,

you'll find the location of De Kalb Junction, NY referenced as a target of what looks like massive attacks, or at least massive data traffic. I couldn't figure out why that location, a tiny town, would be a target, so I started expanding my view of the area.

Turns out that Fort Drum is not far from there. Just up the road, in fact. It's a major military cyber security training and operational facility. That could be the connection. I imagine the military is involved in looking for those who carried out the attack pretty diligently.

Anyhow, if you're following this story, and you encounter De Kalb Junction, NY, that's probably why.

Interesting fact: Chelsea Manning was stationed at Fort Drum for early training, but not training in cyber security, perhaps. Probably there is no connection there at all.
