Yes, it is extremely unlikely for someone who enjoys annoying people on the internet to do an attack at the exact moment it could potentially annoy tens of thousands of people on the internet. I am not saying it happened, but it is extremely easy to believe. It would even make it a lot easier since you essentially have tens of thousands of zombies working for you undetectably. |
Do you have any experience with targetted attacks? The most probable cause for a big attack like that would be monetary motivated. Consider the level of risk. Most good blackhats are financially motivated these days, and they sure as hell aren't gonna waste their botnets or exploits on "Let's stop people from buying MGS4 on Amazon, LOL" tactics. It's completey incredible -- and while script kiddiez might risk long term jail sentences toward something like that, they're less likely to have that kind of power and much less common than professional black hats.
