I apologize for the inconvenience.
A minor inconvenience. But I was wondering what happened so thanks for the explanation.
I agree with Panda's comment. There are huge botnets built out of trojanized machines, and they can probably be leased for a modest fee. So it mostly takes determination, rather than expertise, to mount a DDOS attack.
I mostly see this as someone who investigates phishing (in an amateurish way). That's another use of botnets.
