It's about that "the FBI finally cares, and will bust the script kiddies."
This will scare them and will decrease the DDoS attacks from now and on.
D/DoS is a fact of life that happens continuously non-stop. FBI intervening here probably may have certain effect in general atmosphere among the packet kiddies, but there is no solid data that says DDoS attacks have decreased.
So ISPs and NSPs should work more with FBI and such parties to decrease the DDoS.
More like, ISP and NSP's should start with things like BCP38/uRPF on their edge boxes, and start deploying features & systems that assist their customers in the event of DDoS (e.g. bgp blackhole). -J -- James Jun TowardEX Technologies, Inc.
