Krebs on Security booted off Akamai network after DDoS attack proves pricey

[fhr at fhrnet.eu (Filip Hruska)]

While we are on topic of DDOS, it looks like it's quite a storm now.

According to this WHT post [1], some large server providers were 
recently attacked, and many are still being attacked with quite a large 
bandwidth, ie 1Tbps attacks against OVH. [2], [3]

Filip
