I just thought of a malicious idea. If I were Amazon or some other cloud provider, I could hammer my customers' web sites with tons of requests to make them pay more for resource usage (network bandwidth, s3 calls, misc per/unit usage etc). It would be hard to trace as well. Wonder if people are already doing that today.
- eloff 6y agoThe amount of bad will that would generate when, not if, it came to light would dwarf the possible gains. So ethical concerns aside, it would be idiotic. Sometimes that doesn't stop the pointy haired bosses, because sometimes they are the perfect storm of unethical and moronic.
