Are these perhaps orphan blocks?

Huh I've never seen a block with 1 transaction before. I'm sticking around to hear a good technical answer here

Hi,
usually block sizes of mined blocks are near 1MB limit however from time to time strange blocks are mined with just few transactions. Any idea why?
Example:
In the middle of typical blocks:
~2000+ transactions
~ 990kb+
It quite stands out. Another question is could this be a possible way to attack block-chain? You do not need to have 50% of mining power but if you mine blocks without transaction on purpose you are slowing the network down.
