Especially since they admit it was a DDoS attack. What I find outrageous is first that they charge for incomming traffic (which is often free with other providers), but also 55$ per 100GB. For comparisson, Hetzner charges you 1€ per 1TB of outgoing traffic while incoming is free.

If the attacker downloaded the 3,44mb audio file that OP mentioned, aren't we talking about outgoing traffic?

Even so, on Hetzner it would have cost them a total of $164, with no discount. On Netlify it's over 500 times higher, apparently.
