Public boasting as a mitigation strategy, that's got to be a new one. Not entirely sure it's a wise approach given the deeply asymmetric infrastructure costs of DDoS attacks, especially if the attacker has access to a botnet. [EDIT]: in other words, there is a non-zero probability that the attacker, piqued by the boasting, might be able at the flick of a switch to increase the intensity of the attack by a factor 1M.
