Any ideas on why anyone would do this? What could possibly be gained for these asshats? I don't get it.
seems like someone is trying to provoke people into banning amazon/cloud hosting services.
in all honesty. i see it as a good thing. no one should be running a full node on amazon/cloud hosting anyways, so if it has taken a crap DDoS attempt to prompt people to block these, then ultimately its a good thing
