DDoS Attack on DigitalOcean.com

I work in a DC and DDOSes happen very frequently. Because everyone can hire a botnet for 50 euros, there will be even more coming.

Should I post to HN every time my company gets hit?

Well, it all depends. If it's a major customer affecting outage it should certainly be posted to your guys status page. I imagine you don't work at a HN 'echo-chamber' company like DigitalOcean though, I imagine not many people will be interested in hearing about it here :P.

Yeah, it's quite convenient. When I'm short on cache I just DDOS my biggest competitors.
