Nowhere that I've ever worked published about attacks. We didn't want to validate the attackers.
At eBay/PayPal we filed patents on our DDOS shield, since it was as far as we knew the first one to exist, but that was about the only public information on it.
At reddit and Netflix we didn't actually have to deal with it because AWS just absorbed (or mitigated) it before it ever hit us. We only had to deal with L7 attacks, which we had shields in place for.
