I wonder if there are any conspiracy theories involved in this acquisition...

I just looked at the sequence of events?ÿwhich happened recently...

1. Oracle was trying to get ahead of Amazon Web Services to get more market share...(Amazon is a customer of Dyn's)

2. Dyn gets this massive DDoS attack

3. Oracle announces that it is acquiring Dyn

It's purely supposition on my part :P

hmm.. such strategies are usually very high level and secretive, nobody will really know. for Oracle to get ahead of AWS, more needs to be done. and of course using such under-table tactic is quite uncalled for.

why would oracle want to buy Dyn after being hacked, should choose other providers.

Oracle on Monday announced it is buying Dyn, a Web traffic management firm recently hit with a cyber attack that closed off the internet to millions of users.
