900,000 Routers Knocked Offline in Germany amid Rumors of Cyber-Attack
-
On Facebook, Deutsche Telekom engineers recommended that users unplug their devices, wait for 30 seconds and restart their router. If the equipment fails to connect to the company's network, engineers told users to disconnect their device from the company's network permanently.
To compensate the downtime, Deutsche Telekom is offering free mobile Internet until the technical problem is resolved.
DSL routers all over Germany, and presumably worldwide if anyone else happens to be using the same DSL Modem that got hit by this.
@thwr, hope you're still running!

Sure, because I'm not a T-Online (Telekom online branch) customer. I'm using Wilhelm.Tel, a very small but great performing local ISP. They are providing FTTB/FTTH for years now, mostly on their own fibre lines, not the DSL crap that's normally sold here.

Wow, that is a rough one.
