I do know as a network experienced developer that DDoS'ing is no laughing matter nor is it a toy to have a bot-net that can do this, I've also had my experience with these also but there is nothing we could do to stop it unless these companies are willing to pay the hosting fees for top notch anti-ddos hosting services I'm sure their hosting service they currently had has some type of feature to fight against this but there are ways to stop the attack but it is costly I for one thing could stop it but it would take some time saying the fact that this is happening all the way out in Russia where they have nothing to worry about. I'm sure their government doesn't mind them taking out our 5 star companies since their government is so against our ways.

I'm sure many of them would have been great developers. It's simply a shame :( It’s sad that somone that is a great programmer, will live as a hacker, and do such things as DDos attacks.
