Disclaimer: I am employed by Akamai

I’m not aware of any changes that could have triggered this, if someone has 
information they can share you can reach out to me directly or to our NOCC.  I 
can be reached at ja...@akamai.com if you have something private to share and 
my mobile number is easily findable as well.
