DDOS is now part of the weather of the Internet. Take it into account or suffer the consequences.<p>When high-profile sites got attacked by Anonymous, the rest of us could laugh and blame those orgs for bringing down the wrath upon themselves.<p>But the truth is that those were noteworthy exceptions to the norm, which is that DDOS attacks happen frequently and for no discernible reason.<p>We would laugh today at a major site that allowed itself to be taken down by a SQL injection. Time to start thinking the same way about DDOS.
