I run a service which was recently DDOS'd. It came immediately after a request from the police services in India to give them data on a specific user. They claimed it was terrorism related. We explained our policy on that (there is a procedure but it requires lengthy legal formalities in our jurisdiction). Within hours our service was taken down. It lasted about 12 hours. We never received any ransom request. We were left with 3 possibilities:
1. Indian police/government
2. Original user
3. Total coincidence
When it happens you just realize: this should not be possible. This is a game that hugely benefits the most powerful players whether they just don't bother solving the problem or actively play in it.
