I don't know. I don't recall hearing about a big takedown, but I've been

It may also have been just that whatever caused that spike ealier in

I'd say a far bigger problem was spam from spoofed Yahoo and AOL
accounts sent to the account's contact list. And given that both firms
responded with a strict DMARC policy, its long-term consequences may be
significant.
