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,

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.
