Unfortunately, this appears to be accurate.

I would never run a full node from my home internet connect (especially after DDoS attacks on XT and classic nodes), and would not recommend that others do this either. I would however run a full node (again) from some kind of VPS-like implementation (I used ram-node in the past and was generally happy with them despite them being semi expensive).

I think it would be semi-logical for a semi-new Bitcoin user/supporter (who is experienced enough to want to run a full node) to have AWS as their first choice to run a node off of, and after this attack, there is a decent possibility that this will no longer be possible.
