Yeah, especially since the industry standard is "do not talk publicly about a DDoS and your mitigation efforts until the mitigation efforts are fully in place", to avoid publicity for the people doing the DDoS (which is, after all, what they want).

Some of the translated news articles I've seen on this have said they're receiving between 6Gbps and 8Gbps steadily -- that's just ridiculous. I'm hoping to see a postmortem as well, since that's pretty much "destroy things at the backbone" level of incoming.
