You'll probably find that they're targeting one of Linodes customers rather than the actual Hosting company.
As for the reason, it's normally trying to get money out of them, or just to take a website offline for a while (e.g. the DDoS is from a competitor).
Most attacks will continue until you can prove that your no longer affected by them and can clean out the dirty traffic, this is quite expensive to do though.

- matreyes 11y agoI don't think they're targeting customers, because they have attacked almost every datacenter... strange behaviour...
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 11y agoIt's possible they are attacking the hosting company BECAUSE of a customer they are hosting. We get these all the time -- they attack the customer and then when they can't take it offline they get angry and attack/threaten the hosting company's infrastructure.
