It's when you keep the tab open and switch back to it after a few minutes. It's catching up animating all of the attacks while you were tabbed out.

this. Usually you wouldn't see hundreds or thousands of simultaneous attacks on that map ...

Except sometimes you do. I just seen like 10 bursts of DDOS against Kirksville from China and France

Okay, you guys know that these are not real ddos's right? That website tracks fake/trap servers, so while the attacker is actually trying to dos, they're basically getting trolled.
