Linode customer here. Going to take a tangent. Way back when, Toyota instituted a policy that required every line worker to effectively stop the factory if a defect was found. Engineers would come to the floor. They were tasked with creating a permanent solution for the problem, one that would have that never happen again. For the first few months Toyota had a very hard time getting cars out the door. As time went by things got better. Eventually they got to the point where nearly every car coming off the line was perfect. Around the same time companies like Mercedes Benz were devoting no less than 25% of their factory floor towards fixing manufacturing defects. During this same time period Toyota was devoting less than 5% of their factory floorplan to fixes. This, ironically, meant that the Japanese company was probably delivering a higher quality and more reliable product than the high end car manufacturer.

The fact that they've seen so many attacks gives them the opportunity to become far better when compared to someone who never sees attacks. Whether they go there or not is entirely in their hands. If this is what's happening they need to take the time to communicate it to the world. There are at least two possible attitudes: The first is to live in fear of attacks and hope they never happens. The second is to embrace them as an opportunity to get better. The latter is a formula for disaster, or mediocrity at best. The latter is supported by millions of years of history on this planet showing that things get better because something or someone had to find a solution to a problem. You can't become a good sailor without facing a few storms. I'm sticking with Linode.
