Remember MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)? (Score 1)

Why would anyone imagine that the same outcome would not apply in cyberspace? I DDOS you, you DDOS me. We get our friends to DDOS our enemies. You deface me, I deface you. Sounds like a whole lot of wasted bandwidth. I'd rather see folks invest in anti-spoofing at the network edge, implement better auth methods, and review content for vulnerabilities before they publish. Sheesh.
