		Y_Y 32 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Azure hit by 15 Tbps DDoS attack using 500k IP add... Cui bono? There is a big (opportunity) cost to this kind of thing, How is this worthwhile for anyone? I assume that its's not just a competitor. Is it really worth <insert evil country>'s time to temporarily upset one of of three big cloud providers? Is there a ransom behind the scenes?

nope, there's really no cost to it - they've been hitting with attacks double or even triple the size towards random minecraft hosts for months now.
