,----[ Quote ]
| DDoS continues to harass people across the world. But is it more,
| is it less? What we are seeing is it is taking up a lot of bandwidth
| and we need to protect people.

| I think there could actually be a big shift from commercial to
| political DDoS attacks, such as we saw recently with Estonia
| [and Russia]. Any place where you have political instability
| you could see an increase in DDoS attacks in that region.
