If you actually have the infrastructure and ops to withstand a freak DDOS, you've got a leg to stand on. Taking advantage of a freak shitstorm to steal clients is dishonest because you have just been lucky enough to avoid a shitstorm. In all reality, the people that just went through the DDOS will be better prepared to stand up to one in the future than a system/team that hasn't recovered from one.
