The chilling tale is a warning. USA Today

It’s official. AT&T will buy Time Warner for $107.50 per share, or $85.4 billion U.S. They announced the agreement Saturday night, following a string of reports in recent days that appeared to have accelerated the talks between the two companies. The move means AT&T will own networks like CNN, HBO, TNT, and several other media properties. AT&T will likely face a harsh regulatory process, but there is some precedent. Comcast, another operator, was allowed to buy NBC Universal in 2013 — Business Insider.

Several websites including Twitter and Tumblr were unreachable during an extended period for many U.S. internet users Friday following repeated online attacks. Web-technology provider Dynamic Network Services Inc., known as Dyn, said its domain name system, or DNS, service was subject to a massive distributed denial-of-service attack starting at 7:10 a.m. on Friday.
