Okay, now that you mentioned it, my satellite service was having issues as well this weekend. Especially Saturday night.
This may give someone some Insight. I looked into data breaches this year to see if I could pick up on any trends.
What I did find is the month of Sept saw the most cyber attacks.

September saw the biggest data breach of the year by far, when the digital risk protection company DarkBeam exposed an astounding 3.8 billion records thanks to a misconfigured Elasticsearch and Kibana interface.
Elsewhere, the effects of the MOVEit Transfer breach are still being felt.

WASHINGTON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Internet companies Google, Amazon and Cloudflare say they have weathered the internet's largest-known denial of service attack and are sounding the alarm over a new technique they warn could easily cause widespread disruption.
Alphabet Inc-owned Google (GOOGL.O)said in a blog post published Tuesday that its cloud services had parried an avalanche of rogue traffic more than seven times the size of the previous record-breaking attack thwarted last year.

Not sure if any of this helps, but from what I'm seeing there was a big rise in cyberattacks starting in September.
