A series of large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks originating in Singapore have slammed thousands of websites, leaving website users and administrators stunned at its scale. The attacks are currently flooding websites while local and edge firewalls are in overtime blocking the bad requests.

Cloudflare logs report the IPs are linked to the Autonomous System Number (ASN) AS132203, associated with Tencent-NET-AP-CN, located at Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue.

I doubt very much the attackers have anything whatsoever to do with Singapore. All that's happened is that a swarm of computers in the country have been hacked and are now being used to launch DDoS attacks elsewhere.
