This wasn't 24/7 attack traffic, it was on and off, frequent but unpredictable, constantly evolving, extremely sophisticated, and with seemingly endless resources available to the attackers. It was devastating not just to us but to families who rarely ever saw us rested or calm, friends who rarely saw us at all, and of course to the business (but at some point you stop caring about that.)
Key takeaways: You need allies, information sharing is crucial (but doesn't usually happen), and people don't scale well.
The long(er) story can be found in the form of a talk I gave at a nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqkgrg8dpp6fy9y4muanwses6yw5rn75xqmn284l8dlkuctk2l5kxsrgrlcf (nprofile…rlcf) conference last year: https://video.nluug.nl/w/678HWXAcMcK6RMCFPGxRmL
