Not much against taking a compromised system down, but the provider can (should?) do that according to their ToS (and whatever containment / response procedures they have in place), not some targeted victim playing vigilante by running what is basically a trivial DOS attack. My point was this is not a good thing to show off / encourage people to do and can have unexpectedly bad consequences.
