Yes, the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks are not in the past as pointed by Symantec's
And that is not at all. Yesterday the British's Daily Telegraph website was knocked out by a DDoS (the note). In my opinion the more critical event was the apparent Russian's Cyber Attack against Estonia's network infrastructure some days ago. There are not yet enough information to clarify the incident but it would not be the first time that hackers from different countries attack each other after some political events (China v.s Taiwan). This remind me the comments of Professor Dorothy Denning in her book Information Warfare and Security. (Professor Denning was one of the first research works on Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), her paper).
My opinion is that DDoS will be there no matter what security companies say. While the motivation exists, the problem will remain.
