DDoS attacks with fresh installed VM instance on GCE #14392

I have gotten the same message two times in the last 3 months too. Maybe because most of traffic happens between the Algo server and my home router?

I also got this message over the weekend. I confirmed that no client was compromised or sending out errant requests. I don't know if the VM was compromised, or not. I too simply used the script provided.
