Hi Jose,
It’s more widespread than a particular service provider, so it seems more
likely it’s a software update for some “IoT” device or similar.
The increase in DNS queries was on the “non-vendor” names, so it’s difficult to
know who it is without being on a local network with one of the bad device
The increase in DNS queries is much smaller than the increase in NTP queries
that are being seen, so it’s not just more clients, but badly behaving ones. :-(

If you have NTP servers that can be added to the pool. it’d be greatly
appreciated.
