Oracle has bought Dyn, from Oracle's press release:

Oracle today [11/21/16] announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Dyn, the leading cloud-based Internet Performance and DNS provider that monitors, controls, and optimizes Internet applications and cloud services to deliver faster access, reduced page load times, and higher end-user satisfaction.

TechCrunch reports:

Oracle and Dyn didn't disclose the price of the deal but we are trying to find out. Dan Primack reports that it's north of $600 million. We've also asked for a comment from Oracle about Dyn's recent breach, and whether the wheels were set in motion for this deal before or after the Mirai botnet attack in October, but our guess is that it was likely before. [..] Dyn is Oracle's 114th acquisition, according to CrunchBase. Other recent acquisitions to fill out its enterprise cloud services, coincidentally, included a security startup, Palerra; and NetSuite for $9.3 billion.

    The purchase of anything by either Symantec or Oracle immediately drops my respect and desire to use any products from the purchased company.

    Symantec had the LogMeIn of its day, pcAnywhere. They had Ghost, too, and let both products wither away and surrendered those markets, largely. Why would I use LifeLock considering that track record?

    Oracle makes everything more expensive, and they gutted the corpse of Sun Microsystems, among others. Larry would probably murder his family if it would improve quarterly results. I'm not going to help him buy yet another yacht.

    It's not so far removed from people not wanting to buy from retailers selling Trump products.

      After seeing this news, I moved mine to NameCheap where I had a .email domain and certificate from. They've been good on that domain for about 1+ years, so I just moved my other 5 domains over yesterday.
