  Cloudflare I agree, but "give us $10000 or we increase your AWS bill by $20000 per day" sounds like a viable extortion scheme to me.

    https://aws.amazon.com/shield/pricing https://aws.amazon.com/shield/pricing Might want to check how much it costs to increase someone's billing 20k a day (granted, a botnet makes it cheaper, but measure opportunity cost of what else that botnet could be doing), see also https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/7z6uc3/comment/dutgw6u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/7z6uc3/comment/dutgw6u... Full disclosure: I work for Azure

    AWS Shield (while expensive $36000 a year) does have `DDoS cost protection` as one of it's features. i.e. if you have to 10x your server fleet to outscale + outlast the ddos attack, then AWS will forgive the additional cost.
