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.
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.

About the timing of the DDoS on Dyn, at a time when Oracle was negotiating to purchase the company?
