Packet drop attack? (lemmygrad.ml)

Pinging Wikipedia now sends me through a weird text-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org with 16.667 packet loss, while google pings as intended

Not reproducible.

Maybe on your end or your ISP end or short outage ... could be lots of reasons but I dubt it is an actual attack.

Your entire avg. times are high, I speculate that RFI plays a role in your case.

Consider removing or censor your screenshot it seems you leak some private data such as your entire name.

Also consider removing or censor your screenshot it seems to leak some private data such as your entire name.

I use Facebook, Instagram and other bourgeois social media, so my entire name may be linked to many other accounts elsewhere if intelligence agencies wanted that much, which is why I don't really bother. But is there any other private data I may be missing except my name?

It's indeed related to my ISP. I use two different networks in my house, the second one is used by the rest of the people I live with, and Wikipedia pings effortlessly there. But this only happens from time to time.

Is my ISP blocking it, or suffering a packet drop DoS? What does it mean?
