Or, it became none-news. Because: everybody already reported it. Spamhaus was hit hard. But at no point was 'the internet in danger'. London exchange had a bit surplus traffic which resulted in some irregularities - for a whole hour. Frankfurt didn't measure anything outside of the usual statistical noise. http://www.de-cix.net/about/statistics/ But somebody had to blow it up. And even more people jumped on it. Boohoo. So the next time you start insulting people, base your findings on more than a blog written by those guys who have an economical interest to blow the whole mess out of proportion. 300gbit/s sounds like a lot. London exchange does 1tbit/s on a normal day. Frankfurt 1.5tbit/s on average. And they have reserves. Of course, those responsible - all those guys with unpatched boxes whose little zombies took part in this attack, need a good kicking. But that is no excuse for spamming mailing lists with something the media already abused to no end.
