But that's not how a DDOS works. It doesn't just turn off their servers and make them have to drive over and turn them on. It's an on-going thing until whoever is doing it decides to stop. Sure, there are possibly things that can be done depending on how severe the DDOS is, but if it's bad enough nothing can happen until the attackers stop. You can be mad all you want, but you are just assuming they are just being lazy/incompetent and are at fault. Unless you know the circumstances better than others here?
