Akamai removed journalist Brian Krebs’ website from its cloud-hosting server last week after the site received a “record” cyber-attack. The site experienced a sustained distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, and Krebs said he could not fault Akamai Technologies's decision as it had likely cost the hosting service's a lot of money to handle the scale of attack. It was suggested the attack could be related to Krebs’ recent reporting on vDOS and two ensuing arrests.
