Ummmm. I've just had a (paranoid?) thought after reading the recent post from Gordon Morehouse about DDOS.
I don't normally expose those stats to the world. Indeed I'd guess a few other people who collect such stats don't either. Now, whilst these stats (along with those from others who respond) might help investigations of the impact of whatever is causing the recent uptick, we may also be giving valuable data to whoever is behind the attack (if we assume it is an attack).
As I said, probably paranoid, but if there /is/ a single actor behind this phenomenon then he or she might be delighted to be given such a collection of data points from the network.
Oh well.
