One hole in that theory is that Blender didn’t explicitly mention what DDoS-mitigation service they’re using, so no particular service is getting any advertising/exposure benefit from the attack.
- dehugger 3y agoI think the parent means people offering DDoS-as-a-service, not DDoS mitigation services.
- GoblinSlayer 3y agoBlender did buy a DDoS mitigation services as a result.
- GoblinSlayer 3y agoIt's enough to demonstrate necessity.
- dragontamer 3y agoI'm not saying that DDOS mitigation companies did this. It is sufficient for a black market DDOS-as-a-service company to do this for marketing.
- jachee 3y agoAha! Sort of like Vader showing off the Death Star on Alderaan. I’m so white-hat that I didn’t consider that interpretation.
- dragontamer 3y ago> Sort of like Vader showing off the Death Star on Alderaan. Grand Moff Tarkin showing off the Death Star to Vader (and everyone else). But yes, I get your point, even if you misremembered the movie slightly :-). Episode 4 was very intriguing because Grand Moff Tarkin (and the Emperor) are the only two people in Episode4/5/6 that Vader listens to. I know that there's plenty of Disney spinoffs at this point, but more spinoffs that analyze Grand Moff Tarkin would be a good thing.
