What's interesting about this is (in Atlanta's example) their govt. website is registered through Akamai Technologies. Looked into them and found this https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/news/press/2020-press/akamai-and-att-extend-relationship-through-2023.jsp as they have a relationship with AT&T. So what if this was an attack on their data center to erase any tracks, or something related to solar winds/dominion?
