Comment on Large DDoS hitting CloudFlare

Comments

Is there an economic incentive for DDoS attacks? Or is it just some bored script kiddie with nothing better to do?

My theory is that some of them are proof-of-concept attacks: "We took down X for forty eight hours; give us $Y and we'll do the same to anyone you name."
