When will we see the first organization (government or private) that is effectively completely DoS'ed for days on end because their login does this, while all their email addresses are listed on their website? If sustained, I imagine this could shut down an entire organization quite effectively for a few days. Probably could lose someone millions. Or add insult to injury, and have them pay BTC for the attack to stop.
