Re: FBI bust DDoS 'Mafia'
It's not not OT, or about politics. It's not about they are guilty or not since I Don't care. 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. So ISPs and NSPs should work more with FBI and such parties to decrease the DDoS. Thanks, -J --- "J.A.

I'm happy some of these criminals sent to jail!
You know, here in America, we have this concept called "innocent until proven guilty". What country are you from?
I note for the record that this concept is only held to be accurate when applied to politicians or their financiers. The rest of us are guilty until convicted, after which our obvious guilt was finally proven in an "impartial" court.

Does anyone have any data whether DDOS attacks have increased or decreased?
I can tell you this much: several of my customers have been buying additional / better hardware in order to be able to cope with denial of service attacks. As far as I can tell it has been getting worse over the past few years.
