Story: DoS attacks: The plague for our times?

Jonathan's article is interesting, but based on personal opinion and experience. The concluding sentiments that we know little more about Dos after all these years, and that few vendors have a solution, especially against sustained DDoS attacks, is simply untrue.

Unfortunately, these kinds of article do little to help swing the balance of power in the favour of potential victims, but rely on their scare tactics to attract readers. Stories of people or organisations actually winning against adversity obviously don't 'sell' as well, yet would be far more worthy of the print space, I would argue.
