Almost all of the Host Royale activity is coming from UK/USA/Australia/Canada but the traffic that has been blocking the network is all from China.

For some reason or another I kinda believe that. . . .

Hmmmm what are they after?

Taking AFF off line gains nothing other than to **** some AFF addicts off for a short period of time.

Sometimes a DDOS style attack can be used to hide other traffic coming through....but there is nothing "sensitive" kept on here? There is no personal data and no intellectual property to steal?

Unless they are throwing a wide net all over the place and just seeing what comes back.

Social media is an absolute gold mine for certain malicious actors. Facebook, LinkedIn to be sure, but also the lesser trafficked sites.

Some people store date of birth in their FF profile. That is very handy. Also is the list of email addresses. A person of interest may reuse their handle and password across a number of sites. The pros are a generally good at travelling under the radar, not generating too much traffic to signal they are poking around.
