OK, if you insist, let's stipulate that the fundraiser wasn't actually inconvenienced.

Please reconsider the sentence from your own link that I helpfully repeated back to you. In a DoS context, "shutting down access to the internet and email servers" does nothing "to protect patient medical records". (In fairness, it might be the right response to a more targeted attack, which this was not.) DoSing doesn't give one access to protected DBs or delicate medical equipment. At any rate, if too much traffic is causing difficulties connecting outside the hospital, who on earth would "solve" that problem by severing the connection completely? Oh, right, this was in Boston, the official home of nose-cuttingly ill-considered overreactions like the Great Boston Mooninite Panic of '07. (I think they're coming out with a movie about a different yet similar episode...) One supposes that all the patients on ventilators were lucky they didn't just decide to cut all the power in the building. Note also that most of the alleged damages stem not from the DoS, but from the moronic shutdown. If one were cynical, one might suspect that the first step in the incident response handbook is "make the incident worse so it rises to indictable level and also we can get on the news".
