"this minecraft hacker shut down the internet"
Me watching this on the internet:

[@pilaral]

Imagine being the neighbor of that guy and sharing your wifi

[@FantaisiAnimations]

Wow. I will never look at hackers the same way. I thought they'd just get a ban and be done with it... Boy was I wrong.

[@Xhepyxopila]

If something like this happened today i'd probably not even notice anything's wrong, my WiFi goes out like every week 💀

[@user-vw4xp5nt9f]

the very interesting info that that guy owned a ddos protection service that he would then sell to the minecraft servers he ddos'ed was left out, i think! either for next time, or maybe what i heard was a complete rumor 🤕

[@morgansyoutubechannel]

1:39 lmao mineverse forums

[@ostlandia]

the evidence of Paras being anna-senpai was at best circumstantial

[@lightyagami3492]

Agreed. I think investigators probably knew more than we did publicly.
