Do these idiot hackers realize they're not hurting the corporations at all here? Sony and Microsoft don't give a shit if services go down for a day. The people this hurts are the gamers. Fuck hackers. |
The business impact on a successful DDoS attack can be quite substantial. It can involve financial losses, reputation damage, customer agitation and (sometimes) legal repercussion. Honestly, the only thing difference between a DDoS attack and actual hacking is that on the latter your customer information is potentially at risk, the rest of the consequences are pretty much the same.

Your only difference is a pretty big difference and the consequences would be far greater if it was actual hacking,just like the first time. This is just more of an annoyance then anything.

Not really, it really depends on how long the service is down. Like I said, some companies disguise minor DDoS attacks as maintenance, but in some cases it can take a long time to resolve the issue, meaning the consequences can be almost the same as actual hacking.

I'd rather be annoyed a day are to,then have my personal information stolen. that's a huge difference in my mind. If the service is down for over a month,just like the first time,then yes you have a point.
