Are you of the opinion that the victim of a DDoS attack who is not a multi-billion-dollar corporation would actually receive help from the FBI as a result of a DDoS attack? In the past, I have been told that the dollar-threshold for the FBI to even consider looking at a case was at least $2M in damages. This was 10 years ago, and I can't imagine the threshold has gone down.
